The Long Blondes are back.
The much-loved Sheffield group came to a halt following the hospitalisation of Dorian Cox, but their succinct catalogue will burn brightly forever more.
Rough Trade stepped in to re-issue their classic debut album 'Someone To Drive Me Home' at the tail end of last year, sparking conversations between Dorian Cox and singer Kate Jackson.
The gravitational pull of those songs has prompted the Long Blondes – or Mk II thereof – to announce three sold out headline shows and a Green Man set.
Kate says…
"I can't wait to stand on stage and look over at Dorian while we perform our songs again for the first time since 2008. Something I thought would never happen. The reaction to the 15th anniversary reissue of 'Someone To Drive You Home' convinced us both that we had to play it live and we have spent the last six months reworking the songs as a duo using a lot of junk shop synths and electronic sounds. We’re so excited to be back."
