14.07.10 Thanks to everyone who went to the gig on Friday and helped make it such a great night. A special shout going out to everyone who danced, ground and jumped around, bringing our tunes to life in a way we could never have imagined when rehearsingl: Woots (as ever) Matthew (thanks for the lines for Canteen Love), Sophie, Mila, Miki, Susi, Adela, Mati, Sandra, Cesar (there's some classic video of you Cesar!), Sari and Gloria. Also thanks to Jonathan and sound guy (in fact they were both sound guys), Mitch, Trevor and Pete for their tireless camera work and, of course, the fabulous Las Ruinas.
There is nothing better than playing live in a small venue that is full- I am convinced that that is as good as it gets. It was an inspiration and a spur to get writing more tunes so that we can submit them to alchemy of a live performance and enjoy more nights like last Friday.
Vids and pics will be following shortly,
Un abrazo sudado a tod@s,
The Shoes
09.07.10 From The Shoes vaults, added our first CD free to download here.
09.07.10 Ingredients for a stonking night out:
- A band that has a reputation for getting people up and jumping around playing their first gig in two years
- New line-up, new sound, new tunes, old tunes and a smattering of covers
- Free drugs and alcohol supplied on-demand all night
...As Meatloaf so rightly observed, two out of three ain't bad.
Electric Shoes + Las Ruinas- it's what's happening TONIGHT.

Bass player EDU CHIRINOS left the band in August 2008 to focus on his experimental electronic project LAS RUINAS and his work as bass guitarist with VIOLET LADES. OLLY and CAROLYN are currently looking for a new lineup and a new sound, and are hoping to start rehearsals in January 2009.
THE ELECTRIC SHOES lasted three and a half years, recorded one full-length album and four EPs, got two and a half reviews in national music magazines, were interviewed on local radio, picked up by an internet radio programme and played twenty five stonking gigs in Barcelona.
Thanks to our fans for their generous help and support.

THE ELECTRIC SHOES began life as the brainchild of Olly and Carolyn in late 2004, after they had both had far too much to drink. No talent or experience turned out to be no barrier to forming Barcelona's hardest-working power-pop-punk band. The addition of Ally Heathcote on lead guitar and Peter Vahle on the bass saw The Shoes hurtle through seven gigs, an eleven track all-original-song demo and a temporary replacement bass player (Alabama Joe Moody) in their first year. The Shoes demanded more than Pete and Ally could give, and their sad departure in November 2006 gave rise to a new, rawer, stripped-down look and sound. Edu Chirinos joined Carolyn and Olly to give The Electric Shoes their distinctive brand of quirky, unpretentious and utterly engaging pop energy.
