Hey everyone....I've mentioned The Blondes here before, and
thought I'd pass along this info: they're playing here in L.A. at the
Bigfoot Lodge, on Wednesday, Feb. 12th...apparently (according
to an email from Ben, who deejays at the Lodge) they've signed
with Jim Freek's Teenacide label, which means they'll have a CD
for sale here in the U.S. that you can all find...the rest of this email
is some of the excerpted email that Ben sent out....

WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 12: Live At The Lodge:

AUTHORIZED DEALER, THE BLONDES BRING
'70S ROCK TO THE BIGFOOT
There are definite ways to track the next big sound in L.A.; see what
direction a certain group of musicians are moving and you've just nailed
what's going to be picked up by the general populace two years from now. It
seems that there's a highly unlikely Doppler shift going on at the moment.
Musicians that were once dedicated to pop, punk and garage are creating a
new genre that can only be described as a hijacked version of early '70s
KMET.
THE BLONDES. Formerly known as "Eagle" until Don Henley sent them
a nice note attached to a potentially big lawsuit, these guys will play
nothing that sounds even remotely like "Tequila Sunrise". The Blondes look
like the Zig-Zag-shirt-wearin' guys in my junior high who smoked dope in the
A.V. room and play a set of originals that sound like an album that K-Tel
would've entitled "Powerpop Super Smash Hits". Recently signed to Jim
Freek's Teenacide label, they've been described as sounding like the Sweet,
if the Sweet came from Van Nuys, with doses of The Flaming Lips thrown in
for good measure. With song titles like "Teenage Foxes" and "Summertime
Makeout," the Blondes write the soundtrack to the after school fun you wish
you'd had.
