Thank you for visiting our website. We are currently concluding the recording of our new LP with esteemed indie producer, Adam Lasus (Helium, Versus, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah). The experience has been an exhilarating labor of love and we are excited for the record to be released this spring. Until then, we hope you can take pleasure in this three song sampling. Enjoy.

Back to Blonde has posted a new song called "Tricks up My Sleeve on Myspace. You can hear it at Myspace.com/backtoblonde.

16 shows, 21 days, 5000 miles, driving through well over a dozen states... we can easily say that we had a great time and that the spring tour was an overwhelming success.

TOUR DIARY

Tour.

We hope to catch you on tour in the upcoming weeks...and you better be ready cause we're bringing the rock! If for some reason you can only make it in spirit, we'll be providing several methods of living vicariously through our travels (journals, stories, photos, video). Please frequent the website over the next month for all the goods.

In addition to our tour, we're doing a radio campaign this fall. We really need your support to help get our songs played on college radio stations all over the east coast. Later this month we'll be providing a list of stations in your area for you to call/email/IM and make requests. The new record has been doing really well thanks to you guys and your support, and it's your efforts that will allow us to keep touring and expanding.

If you haven't already, please buy a copy of our debut LP "Swim West" over there in the corner....

Ok, good talk...see ya out there,
Joe, Pat and Christian

P.S. Check out the new review in The Aquarian!

"It is amazing how this band slid under the radar of the College Music Journal. This indie alternative band hailing from the heart of NYC has been making noise locally as well as nationwide. Back to Blonde's music can all be summed up into one word: emotional. If you are looking for passionate and intense music performed at its best, then Back to Blonde is the band for you."

- Peter Kakouriotis "The Aquarian Weekly"

This weekend we are heading up to Binghamton for two shows, and a Sunday show in Utica New York. All three shows are free outdoor college shows, so pray for sun and come out to the shows.

And thanks for the continued support for Swim West. If you don't have it yet, hurry before it sells out...

or just hurry.

Thank you for making the Mercury Lounge show our most fun show EVER. Seriously! We had a really great time rocking out and look forward to doing it again very soon. The energy in the room was fantastic! We have a show on August 20th in Long Island (our first time out there), so please check it out if you can. If you live in Long Island, this is your chance to have your city friends take the LIRR out to long island for a change. Sweet!

This will be our last tri-state area show for about a month, as we'll be heading south for a few weeks, so please try and make it. In the meantime pick up a copy of Swim West while it's hot!

Cheers!
