Blonde Redhead
Blonde Redhead's noisy, dissonant guitars, alternate tunings, and quiet, stilted lyrics have often been compared to early Sonic Youth. After randomly meeting at an Italian restaurant in New York, Japanese art students Kazu Makino and Maki Takahashi and Italian twin brothers Simone and Amedeo Pace formed the band in 1993. The name was taken from a song by the '80s no wave band DNA. With Makino and Amedeo on guitars and vocals, Simone on drums, and Takahashi on bass, the band's chaotic, artistic rock caught the attention of Sonic Youth drum...[more]

VINYL FORMAT. Their first album in four years! Blonde Redhead's style has evolved over their decade-long career to include everything from art-punk to '60s European pop to Serge Gainsbourg. But they've always had a sound that was uniquely their own -- you always know when Blonde Redhead is on the stereo. "Misery Is a Butterfly," their latest album, is as much of a creative leap forward from their last record as that record was from its predecessors. Throughout, the band's gently mournful economy of style is [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. As rich and densely layered as their last album, Misery Is A Butterfly, but the overall mood of wistfulness, melancholy, and regret has been replaced by one of mystical wonder and renewed energy. "It's art music and heart music, with equal appeal to a Serge Gainsbourg fan as to a Sonic Youth fan, without ever sounding like either act" - LA Times.

VINYL FORMAT. Kazu Makino is from Japan and Simone and Amedeo Pace (twin brothers) are from Italy. The band name, Blonde Redhead, comes from a song by the band DNA, a New York City-based group that existed in the early '80's. A band the trio love and more. Now they're making music that's lovely and rocking and achy at the same time.

With their second release, La Mia Vita Violenta, Blonde Redhead maintain their organically low-fi aesthetic and continue to prove themselves as one of indie rock's real triumphs. Even after the departure of guitarist Maki Takahashi, they still make more noise with three people than most bands could make with ten. Guitars tear into the songs -- pointed, direct, and tough -- while the vocals of Kazu Makino and Amedeo Pace weave tightly into drummer Simone Pace's impeccably precise backing. T [ read more ]
