THELONGBLONDES
THE LONG BLONDES kicked off 2006 as recipients of the NME Philip Hall Radar Award (previously won by FRANZ FERDINAND and KAISER CHIEFS). They were proclaimed the BEST UNSIGNED BAND IN THE COUNTRY by everyone from the Guardian to Vogue - and then got signed to legendary ROUGH TRADE RECORDS. They recorded their album - SOMEONE TO DRIVE YOU HOME - with STEVE MACKEY (PULP, MIA) and EROL ALKAN (TRASH CLUB) and it features more standout tracks than you could poke a stick at! It's chock full of so many good tunes, TRIPLE J also gave it Album Of The Week!
