An Explanation....plus Blood Red Shoes @ The Hub, Dublin, 25th January 2008

So here's how it is. We are well aware that the date is actually March 15th 2009 but the basic idea of getting this blog off the ground is to backdate everything Professional Party People have gone through already :) We're starting with Blood Red Shoes. They played The Hub, Temple Bar, Dublin on 25th January 2008 and it was a night of epicness!
I basically have all upcoming entries, namely from 2008 and early 2009 captured in written form in my journal so now I must undertake the daunting task of transferring them here! :) I'm sure it shall all be worth it in the end. Although all that happened over the past year is from my journal, PPP have ALOT o shenanigans on the cards in the very near future and rest assured, Annie Lang will be contributing once we have our backlog finished! :) Hope you enjoy!

Blood Red Shoes, The Hub, Temple Bar

So I heard through Trev ( Radiator, promoter) that Blood Red Shoes were going to play in The Hub. Delighted or wha?! They hadn't been to Ireland before and though they ain't released an album yet, we got proper excited as we love their stuff on MySpace.

Trev put us on the guestlist and we rocked up to the Hub, we arrived just as Peggy Sue And The Pirates were wrapping up their supporting slot. The Hub was a great place to experience Blood Red Shoes as it's not the hugest venue so the acoustics were super and it wasn't a struggle to get a few snaps of the band live.
They played an awesome show and as usual, the hits played after the band were awesome. I popped upstairs for a quick schmoke and who do I see wandering around outside with a bottle of whiskey in his hand only Steven from the band. Considering I felt Blood Red Shoes just might very well be on the verge of hugeness, I had to seize the opportunity to talk to him. What a nice guy.....tried to convince him to come to a party with us once The Hub ended but alas, he said they had an early flight to Paris the next morning.

I walked back down the stairs with him, we went to the dancefloor, had a little dance, took a few messy photos (see photo above, me and Annie plus Stevens mouth!) and then it was all over and they had to dash! I joked with Steven that I was gonna send one of the photos into NME and he laughed, saying they probably wouldn't bother putting it in. Oh so humble :) I didn't get a chance to speak to Laura - Mary but she seemed just as friendly, boogeying away with friends and chatting away to any fans that approached. All in all, a CLASS night. Blood Red Shoes = da shiz.
