Bootleg Blondie

A tribute act devoted to the music of Blondie, the New York new wave group, presented at the Hare & Hounds in Birmingham. Pop, rock and indie fans can hear the band's catalogue performed live.

Bootleg Blondie is a tribute to Blondie, the group formed in New York in 1974 and fronted by Debbie Harry, with Chris Stein as guitarist and co-founder. Blondie drew on punk, pop and disco, and their best-known records include Parallel Lines (1978), which contained the single Heart of Glass, and Eat to the Beat (1979), which included One Way or Another. Their 1980 single Call Me, written for the film American Gigolo, became one of their biggest hits.

This evening is a tribute night, so the music is performed by Bootleg Blondie and not by Blondie themselves. Golden Years is also named on the bill for the evening.

The Hare & Hounds is a Birmingham venue that hosts concerts and shows. The night suits listeners who enjoy Blondie's pop-rock and new wave songs and want to hear them played live by a tribute act.
