Quote:Consisting of Steven Ansell and Laura-Mary Carter, Blood Red Shoes formed in late 2004 after their previous bands (Cat On Form and Lady Muck respectively) had broken up and they decided to "have a jam".
In an interview in Berlin, Laura-Mary explained that the band's name was taken from a Ginger Rogers/Fred Astaire musical, in which Ginger Rogers had turned a pair of white dancing shoes red with blood due to the amount of dancing she had done practising for the role.
The band cite a large swathe of US-based underground punk and rock music as their primary influence, drawing inspiration from Babes in Toyland, Nirvana, Queens of the Stone Age, Q and not U, Pixies, Fugazi and Sonic Youth, although they also regularly highlight English artists Blur and PJ Harvey as music heroes. The band frequently distance themselves from current English guitar music and consider themselves to be a punk band, in ethos and attitude, if not in their immediate musical style. Blood Red Shoes deal with themes of frustration, anger, alienation, boredom, doubt, psychosis, confusion, escape and ultimately the hope of freedom or change, in their lyrics.Quote: MEMBERS

gw foto bareng sama mereka gan! aaarrrgggh kenapa sih nih pengen share ga bisa mulu ada yg tau web laen buat ngeupload foto selaen photobucket ga? pengen pamer nih
iya gw kan LO mereka kemaren di simpati stage gw udah ngobrol ama semuanya mau si steven, Laura, sampe managernya mereka yg paling malesin si Adam itu x_x
pengalaman gw selama ngurus mereka hmm gimana ya, permintaannya banyak bgt gan ga abis2, semua panitia JRL ngakuin mereka tuh artis ke2 yg ngerepotinnya paling banyak hampir nyamain 30 STM
waktu gw ama tmn 1 stage gw lagi duduk trs si steven nyamperin kita bawa kertas permintaan mereka terus dia minjem spidol sama gw kan, ngeceklist2 permintaan yg belom -,- tapi seru sih ngobrol ama si steven dia curhat gitu ke gw sm tmn2 gw beberapa saat sebelom manggung terus sambil lompat2 gitu bilang kalo dia grogi bgt hahahahhahaha
kalo lauranya hmm kan gw dari siang udah nemenin mereka checksound ya, pas mereka dateng gw ngeliat laura dari pandangan pertama aja udah naksir terus si laura itu langsung minta kopi gitu managernya sampe ngomong "we really needs coffee", yaudah gw bantuin dia nyari kopi kan padahal tmpt makanannya belom buka
jujur aja, laura sama stevennya itu orangnya baik bgt dan mereka pas abis manggung ga segen nyapa dan ngelayanin penonton buat foto2 bareng kan
gw paling kesel tuh cuman sama managernya si adam itu, sampe gw ngadu bacot sama dia di backstage pas seharusnya stage simpati udah ditutup tapi mereka msh minta kita buat jagain barang2 mereka di backstage sampe ngeluarin kontrak segala lah gw udah ngomong "we cannot stay longer here sir" tapi dia masih keras batu juga
ya begitulah pengalaman gw gan selama seharian bersama mereka heheheh ada yg mau nanya2 lagi ga???
Quote:Original Posted By ledac âº
nah iya sorry maksud gw si Tom barnes itu tuh nama managernya itu tuh yg gw bilang td bikin gw sampe ngadu bacot gitu mana aksennya british gitu kan ngomongnya belibet :s pas mereka pgn ntn 30stm pas terakhir seharusnya stage udah tutup tp si tom bawa2 kontrak buat minta msh jagain barang2 mereka dibelakang
msh ada yg mau nanya2 lagi?
btw fotonya ga bisa keluar gan :'( gimana nih gw udah pake flicr yg dicopy apanya??
Quote:Original Posted By ledac âº
wah kalo suka mabok basicnya ane ga tau gan hehehe yg pasti sih setiap artis inter di jrl tuh biasanya suka ngasih snack riders nya sendiri nah pasti selalu ada minumal beralkohol kyk jackd,vodka dll yaaa kalo menurut gw mungkin itu udah minuman sehari2nya mereka kan disana dingin kan, mungkin mereka perlu minuman begitu disini biar lebih pede
duh bentar ya masalah foto gw coba lagi nihQuote:Fans-Fans yang Beruntung

di hari ke-2 pas mereka main lagu terakhir gw sama temen2 gw langsung ke belakang panggung buat nunggu.
Selesai main mereka keluar dari Tebs stage terus pas Laura lewat gw blg ke dia "can we take a picture with you?" dijawab sama doi "i'll come out a lil bit"
buseet nunggunya ada kali sejam-an
setengah 3 si steven dulu yg keluar langsung dah tuh pada minta foto, ada yg minta ttd juga. 10 menit kemudian baru Laura-nya keluar, pada minta foto bareng deh.. Quote:Original Posted By aspergeria âº
ngomong-ngomong agan nonton berapa hari nih????
hehehesehari doank gan, pengen banget nonton yang hari pertama
pada dapet kesempatan poto2 sama BRS yang lagi nonton 30stm
, ente nonton juga? yang kapan?
ehh pas nonton ane penasaran lho, nyariin apa ada additional bassnya, ngumpet dimana?
dan ternyata kagak ada, beneran ini band kagak make bassist
soalnya di album samar2 kedengeran suara bass (atau cuma perasaan ane aja)

Enggak gan mereka bener-bener murni cuma berdua kok ga ada additional player sama sekali...
kalo ente denger kaya suara bass di album nya justru itu suara gitar gan, style permainan gitar nya emang unik gan, dia bisa ciptain lagu yg balance, sehingga lagu gak kedengeran kosong
wihhhhh dibikin threadnya, mantaap.
mau pasang foto sm laura hmmm gak jadi ah
ga salah kan baru demen gara2 nonton di JRL?
heartsink
