It's time for me to intorduce y'all to yet another great Yorkshire band. Meet the lovely ladies and glorious gentlemen of "The Long Blondes":http://www.thelongblondes.co.uk...The aim was to form a fantasy pop group: Nico, Nancy Sinatra, Diana Dors, Barbara Windsor. Sexy and literate, flippant and heartbreaking all at once. With this in mind, the Long Blondes went falling and laughing headlong into the glamorous world of heaving amps onto trains and applying eyeliner in National Express coach stations.The first kindred spirit to notice the Long Blondes Thee Sheffield Phonographic Corporation, with whom the band released their ultra limited debut. Next, was hip south London independent label Angular Records. Through them, the band released a brace of exhilarating 45s; The Hitchcock-inspired Appropriation (By Any Other Name) and bona fide cult classic Giddy Stratospheres. Both have become indie dancefloor staples ever since, as has most recent release Separated By Motorways, recorded by uber-producer Paul Epworth (Futureheads, Bloc Party) at his request and released on his own Good and Evil label.
