I HAVE been a lucky girl this Summer.
Getting to see Blondie at the 02 Acadamy, Bournemouth was a big tick off my imaginary ‘TO DO’ list. I’m sure I’m not the only woman fascinated by Debbie Harry’s unique style and edgy look. Unfortunately I’ve only managed the hair.
Their ‘Endangered Species’ tour graced the O2 was an exciting combination of golden oldies an new material, however, the classics were what everybody came to see.
‘Call Me’, ‘Atomic’ and ‘One Way or Another’ really went off with Chris Stein performing a seriously slick guitar solo. However, they missed out some absolute belters like 'Rip Her to Shreds’ which was a bit disappointing. They sounded good, but the focus was on their new album which does sound like a triumph.
But one thing remained as it was in the 70’s. Ms Harry’s voice was second to none. She still had that cool, husky tone making 'Tide is High’ as sweet and meloydic as always but she can still, at 62, rock out as ferociously as we all remember the queen of punk to do.
She was sporting a brave Gaga-esque wig, long and platinum. Full of attitude, dressed all in black with a gorgeous oversized belt and long circle skirt. Not quite the ripped jeans and micro micro shorts but still unmistakably the epitome of cool.
