Woohoo! All you punters that thought you were gonna miss out on Blondie cos' you weren't planning on trecking to Homebake in Syders, get excited because they're coming to a town near you in December.
I will now (in tribute to Blondie and to raise a bird at the ever irritatingly bad press releases I receive for international touring bands) summarise the Blondie Tour of Oz in December using their own lyrics..... here goes.
Picture this - a day in December, meet meet, meet me at the turnstyle. Oh, you know her, she moves like she don't care, you've gotta see her, smooth as silk, cool as air. Atomic lightning Crash! Crash! Crash! Hurry up, hurry up, get your tickets to Blondie now! Obviously the words dressed in red are not Blondie lyrics but I had to wind it up ..... " I think all the time how I'm going to perpetrate love without you in the flesh " didn't seem like the best way to finish it off.
Okay, so Blondie are touring nationally this December. You have to (at least once in your life) see them, they are absolutely, resolutely one of the most amazing bands you will allow to pleasure your aural senses. I can't gush enough... Even better they'll be playing with the original punks "The Saints" and the U.K punk band whose stickers have adorned many a teenage guitar case for going on 38 years "The Stranglers". If you miss this, no one can help you.
