Blood Red Shoes Blood Red Shoes' Laura-Mary was pushed into shouting at the audience when subjected to sexist comments at the band's Munich gig earlier in the week (11th November).

Apologising in her blog, she explained: "I cant really explain or excuse what happened but this is all I can say. Since we have been playing to more and more people, it's kinda been difficult to deal with certain things.

Mostly what people expect of us and also the sexism I have received on a daily basis.

At most shows I get people shouting 'get your tits out' or something along the lines, and most days we recieve emails from people who are being really nice... but also some messages that usually tell me that I cant play guitar, to give up, to stop acting like a man, and that I am just there to look pretty.

I'm not going start saying that it's justified that I shouted at the audience because it wasn't... and I'm sorry it happened. If it's any consilation I'm sitting here feeling pretty awful. Most people lose their cool in private, but when most of your days are with 5 men and then with 300 people and upwards each night... I guess it kinda happened in public.

I'm sorry to those who travelled to see us and I'm sorry to everyone who bought a tic and was upset with what happened."
