Blondie
any fans out there.
i love them i think there amazing just wached some of there videos from recent performances and man does Debbie still have it
i got into there music when i played Vice City and GTA 3
even though i weren't born when they came i absolutely love most of there songs, you can see the comparisons with Madonna and GaGa in her.
i really want to see them live, i just found out they quite recently Toured aswel so im gutted i missed that
but i was shocked there tour wasnt in Arena's i mean they were big in the 80's and there music IS STILL played to this day with the likes of 'Call me' 'Atomic' and 'Heart of glass' etc.

If anyone is interested, the vileness of the Daily Mail is giving away the full Parallel Lines album tomorrow
and 3 songs from the Forthcoming album "Panic of Girls" added onto the end
I didn't know they were still releasing stuff.
They went completely downhill after the big split they had. I remember on some awards show they won an award and both halves of the band were there, but Debbie's half was performing and the other half weren't, and she said "I'm performing with my band". Ouch.
There was a very interesting documentary about them on TV a while ago. I think it was BBC Four.
They toured the new album in June or July, went to see them at the Manchester Apollo and their new stuff is excellent, it's typical Blondie, but still out there and fresh and better than half the crap in the charts
:eek: I would have went! I never knew they were touring! I lived in Manchester then as well, and I am usually up to date with live shows!
It probably won't chart well because music has to be throwaway to chart now it seems
my favs .... '(im always touched by your) presence dear' , 'hanging on the telephone' and 'picture this'.
Have all their albums either in CD, on my phone or on my iPod.
They've had some weaker spots, but I do like most of their work.:)
Debbie is amazing. Love her.
Maria is also lyrically brilliant, I think.
That's great that documentary. The end bit - with all the ex-members attending the same ceremony whilst vowing to stave each other's heads in - is car-crash TV.
I know there has been friction in many bands (Who, Kinks, Beatles) but has it ever got so nasty as with Blondie. They are all suing each other! App since that documentary was made, Jimmy Destri, the organist has been kicked out too, and he is also now taking legal action.
Blondie were the 'bomb' during the height of their popularity, cool as fcuk and tight killer tunes, most of which were written by Debbie & Chris. She wasnt just a pretty face! Atomic is one of the greatest tunes ever. Their first five albums are brilliant. They were also one of the earliest and most successful groups of their time for blending musical genres. And then Debbie gave it all up to look after Chris... What a dame...;) I love you Debbie!
