Name: Blonde Redhead
Genre: Rock
Day: Saturday

Wikipedia sez: “Blonde Redhead is an alternative rock or indie rock band. It was formed by Kazu Makino, Maki Takahashi and twin brothers Simone and Amedeo Pace. They take their name from a song by DNA, a 70’s and 80’s no wave band from New York. Blonde Redhead has gradually increased in popularity in the underground music scene. Their early music has been described as emulative of Sonic Youth, but their more recent releases have begun to stray from this generalization. Kazu Makino is noted for her high, eerie voice, which hovers over melodic guitar riffs and rhythmic drum beats.”

Blonde Redhead are weird ones, music with a somewhat harmonic, beautiful sound to it with just a bit of depression added to it by the lyrics. Drum machine beats added with guitar and lyrics from a guy who sounds similar to Brian Molko. Usually I like these sort of artists but I’m from what I’ve heard of Blonde Redhead so far it just doesn’t seem to work for me,I think it’s because of the drums not gelling with the guitar. From what I’ve read about them they are a band who sounds much better live then on album, so I may have to give them a chance.
