Debut album from the five piece Art-Rock band from Sheffield, England fronted by the sassy Kate Jackson. 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. Rough Trade. 2006. Features twelve slices of glamorous Punk including the singles "Giddy Stratospheres", "Separated By Motorways" and "Weekend Without Makeup". Rough Trade. 2006.
