The Long Blondes Shockwaves NME Awards Tour 2007

The Long Blondes feed the crowd Britpop fever

The Long Blondes bolted through their hit packed set, racing from current single 'Giddy Stratospheres' to recent b-side 'Five Ways To End It'. Dressed in hotpants, Kate Jackson is the perfect someone to drive you home, owning the stage of the Astoria like some sort of superstar. It was a night of Britpop wonder. Long live The Blondes!
