Being big BLONDIE fans we decided to pay tribute to New York's classic new wave band of the 70s and 80s. BOOTLEG BLONDIE is The No.1 Deborah Harry and Blondie tribute band and are the only Blondie tribute to play at the Legendary CBGBs in New York City before it's sad closure in 2006. CBGBs was the Holy Grail of American Punk and New Wave, where the real Blondie first kicked off their career.

Debbie Harris and the boys have met members of Blondie and have been officially endorsed by the band.

Deborah Harry got in touch when she heard we were playing CBGBs to wish us good luck with our show and both Deborah Harry and Chris Stein have signed our guitars.

When Clem Burke, Blondie's charasmatic drummer, found out that we were making a replica of his Premier drum kit, he arranged for us to meet him and even signed our bass drum skin! The boys proudly use their signed instruments in our live shows.
