Blonde Redhead -

Totally intense as a live band, you should seize the opportunity to catch this band's skewed pop sound. From their first combustive, dissonant record produced by Steve Shelley (Sonic Youth) to the hypnotic, rapturous songwriting of self-produced 23 the band have created an impressive 7 albums. Their live sets see them combining spare otherworldliness and bittersweet tension as they deliver blurred strings, magical chimes, dark guitar washes, multidimensional rhythms and rich bass lines. Think somewhere between Serge Gainsbourg and The Cocteau Twins meets My Bloody Valentine.
