The Bon Bon Club (A Long Blondes side project)

Thee SPC Release The Bon Bon Club 7" Single TODAY

The Bon Bon Club are Sushi Quatro (bass, vox), Thirsty Moore (drums,vox) and Chapatti Smith (perc, vox), although Sushi and Thirsty are better known under different names for their day job as the rhythm section of Sheffield glam-popsters The Long Blondes.

On this single The Bon Bon Club hit us with a Hulk-fist sized triple whammy (plus!) of cover versions. Rather than slow the songs down on acoustic guitar to ‘show the great songwriting’ like every Jo Wiley Live Lounge indie plodder, the Bon Bons strip ‘em down and rip ‘em up to the real essentials—the bass and drums. This is how you do it.

The covers are The Cure’s “Lullaby”, Pulp’s “Love is Blind” and Death from Above 1979's “Romantic Rights”.

This single is released TODAY!
