09. THE LONG BLONDES
Another band from Sheffield. And one that brought a certain feminine note into the whole ‘indie segment’. Especially charismatic lead singer Kate Jackson was responsible for this. While their 2006 debut Someone To Drive You Home was full of catchy indie disco hits, the 2008 follow-up Couples was a bit… well, undefined. Shortly after its release the band split up due to health issues of guitarist Dorian Cox. Jackson started working on a solo record but besides a few singles nothing really happened.
