Posted July 2, 200620 yr [flash=450,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekYhrca0M8o.swf Long Blondes - Weekend Without MakeUp Weekend Without Make Up Long Blondes Release date: 26-6-2006 Catalogue Number: RTRADSCD351 Label: ROUGHTRADE reviews Jun 2006 The Long Blondes came together through a series of chance encounters. Kate (lips), Dorian (licks), Reenie (hips), Screech (sticks) and Emma (high kicks) bumped into each other at public library counters, charity shop sale rails and the dancefloors of DIY club nights. It was deliciously inevitable that this lot would get together and form a band. The Long Blondes are the part of the next chapter of Sheffield's idiosyncratic musical heritage: the suburban disco fantasies of the Human League, the opulent ridiculousness of ABC, the seedy glamour of Pulp. After their well documented reluctance to sign on the dotted line with some of the country's biggest record labels, following their Philip Hall Radar gong at this year's NME Awards, Rough Trade were finally successful in winning over this coveted band, with 'Weekend Without Make Up' being the first major release by the band. The single was produced by Pulp bassist and M.I.A producer Steve Mackey, with the b-sides recorded by Trash DJ Erol Alkan, his first foray into record production. track listing 1.

July 2, 200620 yr Thanks for this :D This song is grown on me now, at first I wasn't sure about the hype this was getting myself.
July 3, 200620 yr Fabulous band - refreshingly different to the post-Libertines indentikit indie-c**p that's inhabiting the top 10 now.
