Today's idea - Good Shoes at Audio

Today at Audio, Good Shoes are playing. They make happy jolly indie stuff and we have a soft spot for them, responsible for 'The Photos on my Wall' and 'Never meant to hurt you'.

The noisy pop will be coming to Brighton to accompany the release of new EP 'The Way my Heart Beats' this week. They've had a big history involving working with indie bands of the last six years such as We Are Scientists, The Rakes, Kaiser Chiefs, Pigeon Detectives which are bands you might recall from the admittedly changing scene (yeah, remember Art Brut?).

Regardless, Good Shoes age somewhat better and we're keen to see their dancey moves at Audio tonight. If their newest album - which we've been catching over on YouTube: it involves lots of floating bright confetti strips and hanging upside down - continues to run in the vein of previous album 'Think Before You Speak' it'll be a good night of somewhat nostalgic, hectic and gorgeous indie pop. Their sound's adapted slightly. How do you like it? We're curious.

Have a listen. You can find them on Spotify and Last.fm.





Find tickets on Ticketmaster for £8+BF or on the door for £9.50. You can find Audio Facebook group here. Doors at 7pm

Get tickets for Good Shoes in Resident in 9 days time

I saw Good Shoes a while ago. Long ago enough that I have no sensible recollection of thrilling antics, but I do remember that they were a good fun band despite the dingy but traditional Oxford gig house. They make me think of bright colours and I had a silly dance or two, all rather nice.

"They play danceable, shed rehearsed guitar music. They like to dance, drink, draw, pretend to be on a mobile phone whilst they are not and write songs," says Last.fm.

On the 13th of January - nine days time - they'll be playing a gig in Resident, one of my favourite music stores in Brighton.

Ticket details are a bit hush-hush and involve asking staff in-store. So, rather than blog about this event on the 13th, the day when it happens and the day when the tickets will in fact be all gone, rending the blogging process advising you to go a little pointless, today we advise getting to Resident, and finding out about the in-store gig, if you're so inclined.

They're also playing later in April, on the 22nd at Audio.
