Electric Picnic: Blondie - Heart of class

It's always a worry when going to see a band from "the past" playing the music of "the past" that you're actually going to see a bunch of holograms and tricks with mirrors or possibly a mummy. But the sweat on Clem Burke's brow as he pounds through One Way or Another belie this.

Yes, this is really Blondie playing the music of Blondie. And their unique brand of crunchy, post-punk disco still makes Debbie Harry prowl around the stage and shake her hair and sing those high-pitched melodies on Heart of Glass and Rapture. And she can still do the rap bit. And everyone sings along. And then they do Fight for Your Right to Party. Oh, and some youngsters do a dance to Hanging on the Telephone that involves making a telephone shape with their fingers. That's just some of the creativity Blondie can inspire.
