Biography:
The Long Blondes were a 5-piece art-rock band who formed in Sheffield, England in 2004. The band released their debut album "Someone To Drive You Home" on Rough Trade Records in 2006 after a string of critically-acclaimed singles. The band consisted of Kate Jackson (vocals), Dorian Cox (guitar, backing vocals), Emma Chaplin (guitar, keyboards, backing vocals), Reenie Hollis (bass, backing vocals) and Mark "Screech Louder" Turvey (drums). Male guitarist Cox wrote most of the band's female-oriented lyrics.
