blond redhead for the damaged coda lyrics

They are in tune with their listeners because they are in tune with what kind of music they want to create. In contrast, Blonde Redhead over the years has been consistent in the kind of music they produce. I can see how the comparisons to the legendary no-wave band can be made, but to me, Sonic Youth is less accessible in their over-the-edge experimentation (i.e., A Thousand Leaves and Daydream Nation).

They are also often compared to Sonic Youth, perhaps partly because Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley released their debut on his label Smells Like Records. And so I easily became obsessed with the band made up with members to whom English was a second language (Makino is originally from Japan and twin brothers Simone and Amedeo Pace are native Italians).Īs the story goes, the group was named after a song by an ’80s New York City band called DNA. But I had a good hunch that the investment would pay off, and it did. Unable to wait and see if Makino will heal and perform again, I went out and bought the band’s entire discography. This worried my friend Anna who loves them. But apparently, lead singer Kazu Makino suffered an equestrian accident and was unable to perform. My friend had been building them up, and I was looking forward to seeing them. Recently though, I got curious about the band after they failed to appear at this year’s Coney Island’s annual Siren Music Festival. But because I had virtually no musical direction back in those vastly depressed days when I was surrounded by suburbanites who thought band tees and flannel shirts were revolutionary, I missed out on hours of emotionally stunning music. Instead of revering Kurt Cobain and Eddie Vedder, perhaps (in fact, I could probably guarantee) I would have focused all my love and attention to this wonderfully amazing trio (originally a quartet before bassist Maki Takahashi left). Perhaps if I had listened to Blonde Redhead back in 1995 when they released their self-titled debut, high school would have been a different experience for me.
