· New single ‘Giddy Stratospheres’ released 5th February on Rough Trade
· Headline tour throughout the UK in February
· Live Dates supporting Kaiser Chiefs announced

The Long Blondes’ long awaited breakthrough debut ‘Someone To Drive You Home’ has been greeted with a rapturous reception by both the critics (see quotes below) and their expectant fan base.

2007 sees the release of firm favourite ‘Giddy Stratospheres’ on the 5th February, (featuring exclusive B-sides produced by Erol Alkan). To promote the release The Long Blondes will be embarking on another tour of the UK throughout February, culminating in a no doubt triumphant performance at the Astoria as part of NME’s BRATS shows on the 20th February.

So that’s them; Sardonic style icon and protagonist-in-chief Kate Jackson, guitarist and songwriter Dorian Cox, bassist Reenie Hollis, keyboardist Emma Chaplin and drummer Screech. The next chapter of Sheffield’s idiosyncratic musical heritage: The suburban disco fantasies of the Human League, the opulent ridiculousness of ABC, the seedy glamour of Pulp Truly a Carry On cast’s worth of characters all with loves, hates and passions just like yours. It’s a Blonde, Blonde, Blonde, Blonde world. Now just lie back and enjoy it.
