LONG BLONDES TO PLAY FOPP CAMDEN IN-STORE
Sheffield five-piece The Long Blondes are set to rock the Fopp Camden store on Mon 26th June at 6:30pm. They play to support the release of the new single Weekend Without Makeup released on that day, on Rough Trade.
'The Long Blondes' formed to create a fantasy pop group: Nico, Nancy Sinatra, Diana Dors, Barbara Windsor. Sexy and literate,flippant and heartbreaking all at once. They combine the suburban disco fantasies of the Human League, the opulent ridiculousness of ABC and the seedy glamour of Pulp.
'Weekend Without Makeup' bares all the hallmarks of a Long Blondes classic. The witty yet disturbing narratives, the barely contained guitar lines and drum crashes. Like the Slits playing Roxy Music or Donna Summer reciting the collected works of Harold Pinter, 'The Long Blondes' are truly becoming auteurs of the perfect left-field pop song.
