THE PARSON RED HEADS

Do you remember the Yearling album from 2011 by The Parson Red Heads? The album is out of print, but it got re-issued on a deluxe edition last Tuesday (01/22) via Second Motion Records.

What’s new in the new version? It includes all the original tracks, plus six tracks from the Murmerations EP, so it’s a nice deal if you haven’t already own the album.

The band is currently on tour with He’s My Brother She’s My Sister (we like them) and Rayland Baxter:

01/24 Portland, OR – Mississippi Studios

01/25 Bellingham, WA – Green Frog

01/26 Vancouver, BC – The Waldorf

01/27 Seattle, WA – Sunset Tavern

BLOOD RED SHOES

bloodredshoes.co.uk

Blood Red Shoes’ EP, Water, is out now via V2 / Cooperative Music.
The highlight from the EP is a track called “Red River”, which you can watch on YouTube.

If you were wondering about the video, it was shot during their recent trip to Russia: “It was our first time over and was kind of insane, for many reasons. From the minute we landed and had a 4 hour fight with customs to get our gear into the country, to the last night when we made a 4am pilgrimage to Red Square, it was one hell of an experience. A crazy and beautiful country with crazy and beautiful people, one of the most full on crowds we’ve ever had on our first trip to a country.”

U.S. fans should not that their first two albums, Box of Secrets and Fire Like This is now available in the States.

REDWOOD PLAN

The new Redwood Plan record called Green Light Go is coming out February 12th.

Critics seems to really love the frontwoman, Lesli Wood, often calling her performances as “energetic” and “kick ass.”

They’re heading out on tour in support of the album:

02.15.13 – Seattle, WA @ Neumos

02.27.13 – Salt Lake City, UT @ Shred Shed

02.28.13 – Denver, CO @ Lion’s Lair

PS, Chaos Chaos (we saw their first ever live show last October) is opening for them at their record release show.

WHITE BLUSH

whiteblushh.com

Absolutely no information was sent for this artist, White Blush. When you send in music submissions, please include as much information as possible.

All I know is that White Blush is the stagename for India Pale Ale beer-drinker Carol Rhyu from Los Angeles (I am assuming this considering that most artists aren’t from Louisiana.)

The credits lists “All songs written, performed, and produced by Carol Rhyu” on her self-titled EP, so cover lovers should weep that it’s not Dolly Parton‘s “Jolene.” You can stream the EP at whiteblush.bandcamp.com.

White Blush will be playing a free show in LA at The Bootleg Bar on Monday, February 18th at 8:00pm.
