So you only have to go check out the bands myspace to see the hype surrounding them coming from everyone including the likes of Vice, Mixmag, Artrocker to Dazed and Confused who have all been very complimentary about the band. It’s a unique blend of synths, punk and noise really makes them stand out for the right reasons and the live show is the perfect complement to this.
Have a little read about what they had to say when I interviewed them......
Who are you and where are you from?
Gold Blood from West London.
Describe Gold Blood sound in three words:
Life hurts love.
Where does your band name originate from?
My imagination. But that word is John Llewelyn’s.
The best and worst band you have ever been compared to?
The worst is not a band but people sometimes think we are on some 80’s retro trip. Not. At. All. And as far as best bands, well we aren’t normally compared to one band, reviewers normally list three or four and then say something like: if they all drank turpentine and punched a policeman.
The strangest summation of your band and or songs?
A Dutchman once thought we were really good grime music.
What’s next for Gold Blood?
Got a 7” coming out with ‘Get’s You Laid’ and ‘The Intruder’ on it in November. Then some shows and more releases - check http://www.myspace.com/goldbloodband for more info.
Finally, who would you choose to be an honorary member of Gold Blood for one night only? Tell us why and what would they do?
I was actually thinking about this today. I’d really like to do something with Amodali from Mother Destruction. Of course she’d do whatever she wanted.
So now you have been introduced to the band you can go and be all social mediary (not sure that’s a word....) and become their biggest fan on myspace where you can also grab some tracks by the band and also pop over to facebook and ‘like’ them. Both pages have some live dates that you should definitely go to in October!!
