Friday December 15 The Long Blondes tickets in Razzmatazz at 20.30.

Like most people from Sheffield, this five-piece indie band are so insistent on telling us how good it is thereithat you just end up being more and more convinced that it must be shite. Fronted by a lass, Kate Jackson, they are a sort of Blondie-esque post-punky new-wave band.
