		The band seemed delighted at the warmth of their reception - and have already announced another UK tour for June next year.

	Rock On The Net: Blondie
		Blondie was one of the few "new wave" bands that grew out of the punk sound of the 70s and found pop and alternative success in the 80s.
		The band's name is said to have come from what truck drivers used to call Harry when she walked by - some argue its from the popular comic strip character.
		When Blondie talked with MTV the focus was on Harry's groundbreaking role as a woman fronting a rock band in the 70s: Destri commented: "She opened the floodgates kids" and Stein said "The male rock establishment, the male rock critical establishment was really sexist back in those days...

	Blondie
		Blondie began in typical rock & roll fashion -- hippie art student meets former Playboy bunny and starts band.
		Blondie was New Wave, punk, funk, disco, and doomed from the beginning, but they were never quitters and even after near tragedy, the '80s favorite pop troupe proved they would persevere - one way or another.
		Stein, the hippie art student who started the band, battled the rare, and potentially fatal genetic disease with the help of long-time partner Harry, who divided her time between nursing duties and various films and plays.

		Blondie was inspired by the girl-groups of the 1960s, vintage comic books and the Big Apple's then emerging drag-queen scene.
		The band's appeal also stemmed from her status as rock's leading pinup girl of the late 1970s and early 1980s.
		But what ultimately makes Blondie, well, Blondie is the hair color that partly inspired the band's name and gave Harry her trademark look.

	VH1.com : Blondie : Biography
		Blondie was the most commercially successful band to emerge from the much-vaunted punk/new wave movement of the late '70s.

	BLONDIE
		When Blondie first got together in the mid-70s, bands like The New York Dolls, The Heartbreakers, Television, The Voidoids, Patti Smith, and others were redefining popular music in NYC in reaction to what the "hippie" music of the 60s had become after being swallowed up into the commercialized mainstream.
		Blondie stood somewhat apart from these bands, daring to produce music based on a variety of pop influences which lacked the dark, intellectual overtones of much of the music of the scene.
		Other NYC bands who took themselves rather seriously didn't get Blondie's "pop art" aesthetic, and females looked down on the way Deborah played up her sexuality on stage (ah, but who could have helped but be jealous of that face!).

	Blondie - Parallel Lines
		Blondie's third album is less concentrated on infantile pop remakes of the '60s and focuses on creating its own sound within a contemporary pop framework.
		Blondie's massive international success was based on the band's ability to write good commercial pop, to blend it with the tartness and freshness of punk and new wave before entrusting the songs to the undoubted vocal talents of Debbie Harry, the group's vocalist and publicity figurehead.
		Blondie turned to British pop producer Mike Chapman for their third album, on which they abandoned any pretensions to new wave legitimacy (just in time, given the decline of the new wave) and emerged as a pure pop band.

		The instrumental track was already recorded (by Moroder, not Blondie), so it only took Deb a couple of hours to record her vocals, including harmonies.
		But the band's eclectic style reflected a diminished participation by its members — Infante sued, charging that he wasn't being used on the records, though he settled and stayed in the lineup.
		By 1982 the band had virtually collapsed among lawsuits and solo projects.

		When Blondie, the most commercially successful band to emerge from a fertile New York rock scene that also produced Talking Heads and the Ramones, reformed after 15 years, they didn't include former members Frank Infante and Nigel Harrison.
		Johnny Van Zant, who replaced his brother as the lead singer, joined Kid Rock in a duet of the band's hit "Sweet Home Alabama," such a well-known prideful statement of Southern heritage that the title was later swiped for a Reese Witherspoon movie.
