Blondie
in
Austin
In 1974, an ex-Max's Kansas City waitress and Playboy bunny and an art student started what was to become one of the great pop bands of the New York New Wave Punk scene-Blondie. One year later, vocalist Debbie Harry and guitarist Chris Stein enlisted two new members-Clem Burke on drums, and Jimmy Destri on keyboards-and started playing the New York downtown circuit. After garnering a huge fan-following, the group released the self-titled album "Blondie" in 1977, and soon toured in support of the likes of David Bowie and Iggy Pop.
Scoring the first major reggae, rock/disco and hip hop hits, Blondie defied categorization, exploring and meshing different genres of music. With great rock hooks, clever lyrics, hip clothes, and cool hair, Blondie soon went from the cover of Punk magazine to being on the cover of just about every magazine.
Despite a sixteen-year hiatus between their sixth and seventh albums, a break-up at the peak of their success, a mysterious, near-fatal illness that struck the group's guitarist and hit writer, "The Curse of Blondie," the band's ironically-titled new album, proves that some of life's best work is created out of the hardest struggles.
