About Blonde Redhead
Since 1993, the New York trio Blonde Redhead have been one of indie rock’s most exciting acts, taking the noise-rock influences that defined them at the outset and adding them to increasingly pop-minded songs. A chance meeting at a downtown restaurant led to art students Kazu Makino and Maki Takahashi teaming up with twin brothers Simone and Amedeo Pace to form the band, which quickly attracted the attention of the New York experimental-music scene. Their self-titled debut, released in 1994, was produced by Steve Shelley of noise-rock kings Sonic Youth. Takahashi departed shortly thereafter, and Blonde Redhead carried on as an ever-evolving trio. Over the years, their musical palette has continued to grow, with Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons showcasing their keen ear for melodies, the pensive Misery Is a Butterfly smoothing out the rough edges, 23 shrouding their sound in shoegazer fuzz, and Barragán stripping the band’s songs down to their essence.
