Much loved Morden natives Good Shoes are back at last with the announcement of a 26 date UK tour in November and December and a free download of a new song.
Eschewing the 'big' production path that many of their peers have followed, Good Shoes have opted for a genuine DIY ethic on the follow up to 2007's 'Think Before You Speak', which has now sold over 20,000 copies in the UK (and probably been downloaded twice as many times!), recording the new album over the course of the last year in various London basements and bedrooms. The first release is 'The Way My Heartbeats', available at www.goodshoes.co.uk from today.
In addition, the band, who were the last ever to play at The London Astoria, will embark on their first full tour since their headlining show there at the end of 2007. "We're trying to play every place in the country basically…we're visiting towns we've been to loads of times and also places we've never been before! Nice intimate gigs are what we've been enjoying recently so hopefully the fun will carry on!".
