Blondshell has released new single Veronica Mars and confirmed a run of UK headline dates including Manchester’s YES.
The Manchester gig is one of 5 UK dates she is playing including The Great Escape Festival and London’s Wide Awake Festival.
The run of dates mark Blondshell’s debut UK headline tour. They come amidst a wide run in Europe including performances at Primavera Sound.
New single Veronica Mars follows om from her previous self-released singles Olympus, Kiss City and Sepsis. Blondshell explains, “I was obsessed with the [US teen drama] show ‘Veronica Mars’ as a kid and I was revisiting it around the time I wrote this song. I wanted to sing about that childhood era when I was being exposed to a lot more than I was comfortable with. ‘Gimme shelter’ refers to the song but I’m also saying please give me shelter from graphic TV and film, from New York City, overwhelming lyrics, etc. I think the song is just about having my boundaries crossed and the effects of those transgressions (for example, growing up to think men are hot if they’re assholes).”
