Blonde Redhead
Blonde Redhead is a trio that contains Montreal-transplanted twin brothers Amedeo and Simone Pace and Japanese-born Kazu Makino. They formed in 1993 in New York City after meeting each other by chance. Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley produced their self-titled debut album which was well received in the NYC underground music scene. After numerous albums they released their 6th album and breakout album Misery Is A Butterfly in 2004. This album featured a new sound that was more refined and it hit big on the indy music scene. After the break away from their previous elusive, distorted prog-rock sound that was compared to Sonic Youth meets Joy Division, they were able to gain popularity world-wide. Their new creative melodies are quite rhythmic and enjoyable. In 2007 their latest album, 23, was released and gained critical acclaim. By the way Blonde Redhead also play songs in Japanese, Italian and French. I thoroughly enjoy these guys, whether its before their transformation or after.
