Fans invade stage at chaotic Blood Red Shoes gig

Blood Red Shoes

Blood Red Shoes

Backflips and dancing onstage during the duo's encore

Fans invaded the stage at Blood Red Shoes' gig last night (April 9) at King's College Students' Union in London.

As the band performed 'ADHD' around a third of the audience swamped the stage, with one fan repeatedly doing backflips as the crowd went wild.

NME.COM user Karen e-mailed in this picture (above) of the carnage to news@nme.com.

I was at the gig - a third of the audience is a far exaggeration, more like about 30-40 people. And the band were happy enough with them being there.

I was at the gig too. That has to be the craziest thing I have seen.They seemed to invite one person on stage an everyone else just followed, amazing to see and seemed like the band enjoyed it too.A great way to end a great gig.

i was the guy guy "repeatadly doing backflips"black t shirt- grey skinnys hahathe gig was awesome though, the guys were obviously nervous when they came on stage, but as soon as they started with "boring by the sea" the nerves were settled.blood red shoes will no doubt be an ever bigger name by the end of the year.

Why is it that whenever I see them (and I've seen them five times now), things like that never happen? The crowds are WAY too quiet and politeOh well, looks like you all had a great time down there!!!!!!!!
