12 vinyl records, from experimental early albums to refined indie rock; prices range €13–€47, with original pressings held in demand.
Blonde Redhead is a New York-based alternative rock band formed in 1993, consisting of Kazu Makino (vocals, guitar, piano), Simone Pace (drums), and Amedeo Pace (guitar, vocals). Their early work is characterized by noisy, experimental undertones, allied with influences from Sonic Youth. The band's name originates from a song by the New York no wave band DNA. Over time, Blonde Redhead's sound evolved toward a more melodic and textured indie rock style, marked by increasing use of piano, strings, and keyboards.
Key albums include their 1994 self-titled debut and 1995's "La Mia Vita Violenta," initially released on Steve Shelley's Smells Like Records.
