Artist Biography
The Long Blondes are a 5-piece art-rock band who in the past year have come from little-known Sheffield charity-shop dwellers to one of the biggest indie bands around. The band recently released their debut album "Someone To Drive You Home" on Rough Trade Records, after a string of critically-acclaimed singles.
They have a growing following, with many fans sporting the "glamorous punk" image popularised by frontwoman Kate Jackson. Kate was featured in The Guardian's style section and the NME Cool Lists 2005 and 2006. When questioned about her place in the first list by The Guardian, Jackson remarked: "Probably because they didn't have enough girls. It was so overrun with boring boys, they needed someone to bring a touch of glamour."
