Doing the double: Part I, Heroes Bar

Some snaps from our double weekender last week, starting with Heroes Bar...

Thanks to all who came along and rocked out with us! Special mentions go to Ray from Foreign Legion for his brilliant (and not at all drunk?) stage invasion during Don't Make Me Go Back and the random bloke who made Lucy sign his chest. Quite the experience. She wisely drew the line at leaving a lipstick imprint on his nipple though... 

Sat Feb 11th: Heroes Bar (thanks Vix for the pix)

Bringing the 'I'm a Little Teapot' dance back into fashion...

Stage invasion #101: Always locate a microphone for maximum effect 

 Stage invasion #102: Demonstrate your reciprocated 'bromance' with the guitarist so as not to be removed by security 

Upcoming Heels gigs

Love Whitechapel more than Jack the Ripper? More partial to a freebie than a disgraced MP? Then you'll basically want to give these two free gigs a go...

Tomorrow @ Indo (event here)

Thurs 14th, exhibition launch

See you there!

Drag Your Heels: just don't run in them...

Hi(gh) heels,

(clever, huh? No? Alright then...)

Just a quick one to let you know what's been happening in our world... After a couple of gig cancellations recently (involving double booked venues, and a flooded flat - don't ask) we got to at least play one of our scheduled shows, which was at the Abbey in Kentish Town.

It was a really fun night with good people, rockabilly DJ's (who played a great set, including the first song me and Tommy ever found mutual ground on: Give Him A Great Big Kiss by the Shangri-Las, which has also been covered by New York Dolls and Johnny Thunders, hence Tommy's appreciation) and also a celeb spot in the form of Ed Westwick from Gossip Girl.

We've never actually watched the show, but an American teen-drama star spot (ok, well apparently he's from Stevenage, but still) always seems more exciting than seeing someone out of Hollyoaks or Skins for obvious reasons.



Phil from Hiroshamour had asked us to play the gig as part of a joint birthday do with his daughter Charlie, and their band Honeygene also played which was pretty cool. Lovely pure vocals, and a cover of Jolene thrown in at the end: what more could you possibly want?


Unfortunately a combination of a few too many ciders, and wearing ridiculously high platform heels meant that I did embarrass myself (as I often do) by running for the bus on the way home, completely misjudging my footing, and falling smack on my face. Fun.

It was one of those falls that happens in slow motion too: you know you're going, but you literally can't stop yourself. So I'm now sporting grazed knees not unlike a six year old's, but it's all good: Roland the Drum Machine fortunately didn't break, as I was carrying him in my 80s stripey briefcase.

Speaking of New York Dolls (which I did, earlier) we also managed to get down to their gig at Koko which was a-ma-zing. Will probably blog more about them at some point, but for now, here's one of the very few pictures that my rubbish camera managed not to blur.


Until next time,

♥ Lucy Loveheart ♥

WELCOME

Hello,

We're Drag Your Heels and this be our new blog. We'll be updating you on all our news, gigs etc. and may even share the odd anecdote on occasion.

Couple of pics below from our most recent gig at Barfly (taken by the lovely Nina from Altercation), and also a picture of a promo copy of our single 'Creatures' which we'll be releasing on iTunes in the summer. The thing that excites us most? An ink printed CD that hasn't just been written on! Yep, it's the simple pleasures in life.

Oh, and to the eagle-eyed amongst you - yes, that is a 5 pence piece in the background of the shot. We totally meant to get that in (?)

Be back soon! xx
