About:
Amedeo and Simone Pace were born in Milan and grew up in Montreal, but moved later on to Boston to study jazz.
After earning their Bachelor's degrees, they began playing in the New York City underground music scene. The Pace
brothers and Kazu Makino and Maki Takahashi (now no longer in the band) - Japanese art students - formed the band in
1993 after a chance meeting at an Italian restaurant in New York.
Blonde Redhead caught the attention of Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley, who produced their self-titled debut in 1993.
Shortly afterwards, Maki Takahashi left the band. The remaining members of Blonde Redhead continued as a trio.
On their third album, Fake Can Be Just as Good, they were joined by Vern Rumsey of Unwound as a guest bassist. After
this, they continued without a bass player for the release of the remainder of their albums. On their fourth album, In an
Expression of the Inexpressible, Guy Picciotto of Fugazi was hired as producer, as well as contributing to / singing on the song
"Futurism vs. Passeism Part 2". Guy Picciotto also produced their records, Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons and Misery Is a
Butterfly. Alan Moulder (Nine Inch Nails, U2, Smashing Pumpkins) produced their most recent record, 23.
Blonde Redhead has slowly built a sizable fanbase in the underground music scene. Their early music has been described as
emulative of Sonic Youth, but their more recent releases have diverted from this generalization. Kazu Makino is noted for her
high, eerie voice, which hovers over melodic guitar riffs and clockwork drum beats.
The large span of time between Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons and Misery Is a Butterfly is attributed to Makino's recovery
time after being trampled by a horse. Much of Misery Is a Butterfly's imagery and illustration is equestrian or reflective of the accident.
Their most recent album, 23, was released on 4AD in April, 2007.
