New album due September 2nd.

I will check it out but their last few have really gotten away from me. I saw them during the "..Lemons" era and thought hey! New Sonic Youth?

Then I saw them a couple years after that and though "nope, but I'm glad I saw them and got into them. Btw: is Deerhoof like the new this?"

They weren't. Turns out I totally missed hearing their first albums in proper historical context. I don't think I'll ever see them as their own band, which is a shame. I may check this out but it's not on my to-do list or anything.

I listened to it just now. I'm in love!!!!!! Rheujanskdkf

Sounds more like old blonde redhead. Fuck I'm so fucking fuc....I don't know what to say really. I love BR...the only people I love more is SY....so yeh.

I know what you mean but I love 23 and penny sparkle is pretty good. But listen tothe song. It's worth a listen because it doesn't sound anything like their last two albums. Do et

I've been a Blonde Redhead fan since their self-titled album came out. Here is how I would generally rank their output...

Blonde Redhead - A-

La Mia Vita Violenta - A+

Fake Can Be Just as Good - A

In an Expression of the Inexpressible - C (sorry folks)

Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons - B

Misery Is a Butterfly - A-

23 - B-

Penny Sparkle - D


I know my ranking of 'In an Expression of the Inexpressible' is likely to be blasphemy around here, but I just don't find myself reaching for that album. 'Penny Sparkle' is an absolute dud, so let's hope their new platter is a return to form. The new single gives me tons of hope!

[EVOLghost]

Penny SPark is a C+ in my book...but in an expression is at an A+ alongside La Mia Vita Violenta.

[Severian]

Wow! You guys were right! This is the most kickin' BR song I've heard in a long time!!

Damn. Well. I'll be

I was at this show...

It took place at the long since defunct Atlanta club called BLT's on the West side of town. Great show.

[EVOLghost]

I'm jealous....like super insane jealous.


I wasn't able to see them until like 2007 :/

AND I had to go by myself...but who fucking cares. It's Blonde Redhead!

[EVOLghost]

Real talk...I'm pretty fucking excited for this album.

There was a point in the show where Amedeo had Kazu pinned, face/body first, into the Marshall stack...tons of noise swirl and Kazu wailing like a banshee. It was so erotic. I'll never forget the sexual energy. Amazing and dangerous.

I just spun their self-titled album for the first time in years. Wow. The Smells Like Records/Steve Shelley link led me to them back then. I had only heard 'Sciuri Sciuri' before buying and will never forget hearing 'I Don't Want U' for the first time. Sonic Youth had exposed me to some fairly avant stuff, but I wasn't ready for what I was hearing at the time. The rest of the album isn't as abstract and I "get" that song with ease these days...

This sounds like the hottest fucking thing ever.



I was listening to In an expression and got a little sad when I thought about how you said you're not a big fan of it.....it's my favorite blonde redhead record. I mean...missile++, that song is so beautiful...

I'll give it another spin this weekend. Honestly it has been years since I've listened to it...

[Screaming Skull]

I'm listening to La Mia Vita Violenta right now and memories from the June 1996 BLT's show are flooding back. When they played 'I Am There While You Choke On Me' Kazu's vocal/physical performance was so intense the place exploded when the song ended. People were yelling out, "play it again!". They huddled for a minute and launched into it AGAIN...back to back. I've never seen a band do that before and it was very cool.

[EVOLghost]

HOLY FUCUUCUSDHLGAHDR;LKGHKJFGHAJDKLH


That song is so bad ass..when she goes all high pitched n shit....damn.....and it's SOOOOO cool to hear they played that shit back to back.

Wow...VERY different! Cool vibe. If someone played that track for me and told me to guess the artist I would NOT guess Blonde Redhead. Evolution...

[screamingskull]

I come back on the board for one day and there's a new screamingskull?? WTF?

[Jim72]

That's so crazy, how could anyone rip off a name that original?

[SYRFox]
