Brighton duo Blood Red Shoes have announced a nine-date UK tour, taking place in April of 2014. Dates and details below.
The tour follows the release of the band's new, self-titled album, which is released on 3 March 2014. The band recently revealed the best gigs of their career exclusively on Gigwise. Check out their picks, with exclusive photos, here. Blood Red Shoes will be supported by DZ Deathrays and Slaves on the tour - and the band have imposed a no bassists rule for their performances.
"This tour comes nearly a year and a half since our last UK shows so it'll be great to finally get back into it on home turf,” says Steven Ansell of the band. “The new album is full of songs that we've been aching to play live since we finished recording, so April can't come around soon enough for us.
"We've also decided to ban bass players from the stage and hook up two of our favourite bands of the moment as our revolving supports - we've got DZ Deathrays and Slaves playing every night, so it's a two-piece guitar and drums overload tour. Intensity in ten cities."
The band have also premiered the video for new single, 'An Animal'. Watch it below.
