The Long Blondes came together through a series of chance encounters. Kate (lips), Dorian (licks), Reenie (hips), Screech (sticks) and Emma (high kicks) bumped into each other at public library counters, charity shop sale rails and the dancefloors of DIY club nights. It was deliciously inevitable that this lot would get together and form a band. The Long Blondes are the part of the next chapter of Sheffields idiosyncratic musical heritage: the suburban disco fantasies of the Human League, the opulent ridiculousness of ABC, the seedy glamour of Pulp.
XX Teens join Long Blondes; not actual teens but anarcho-punks, with names like Danny Fancy, Dirt Dog Cash, Pinstripe, Uber and Nuvo who cut their teeth playing with The Horrors and Good Shoes and gigged at Glastonbury 2007. Their acclaimed single Darlin' has been remixed legendary DJ/ Producer Andrew Weatherall.
