Synopsis: Blonde Redhead is an alternative rock band. It was formed by Kazu Makino, Maki Takahashi and Milan-born Italian twin brothers Simone Pace and Amedeo Pace. They take their name from a song by DNA, a 70s and 80s no-wave band from New York. Blonde Redhead caught the attention of Sonic Youth’s drummer, Steve Shelley, who produced their first self titled album in 1993. Shortly afterwards Maki Takahashi left the band and the remaining band members continued as a trio. *
Blonde Redhead is the definition of underground. They’ve been releasing albums since 1993 and haven’t crack the public eye. It’s amazing, that such a great band doesn’t get the recognition they deserve. The good thing is, their music only gets better. Check out one of my favorite songs, Misery Is A Butterfly, the self titled track from their 2004 album. It is an eerie and seductive track that suits what seems to be happening to a bunch of famous people this year.
