Blondie is not only one of the greatest ever female fronted bands but one of the greatest New Wave bands of all time. Their music spans the genres - punk, rock, 60s girl group, disco, pop, funk, reggae, jazz, rap and even a touch of country, yet all with a distinctive New Wave style. The classic album "Parallel Lines" (1979) is No. 6 in Billboard's Top 50 Albums of All Time with virtually every track a hit single. Debbie Harry is No. 12 in VH's 100 Greatest Women of Rock and Roll and the band was inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006. With a distinctive image centering on the seductive yet cool attitude of Debbie Harry (also the band's main songwriter), Blondie were pioneers for many new sounds and concepts in popular music and Debbie Harry became a fashion icon. The cleverly structured melodies with Chris Stein’s catchy guitar riffs, Jimmy Destri’s keyboard hooks and Clem Burke’s signature drumming style, have stood the test of time. Pure Blondie play all the great Blondie songs – Call Me, Atomic, Rapture, In the Flesh and many more, including a couple of hidden gems for die hard fans!
