Photo: ‘Timeless cool’ Blondie at HOB

Photo by Theresa Heinz-Ratekin 11-Sep-11 – (Left) Deborah Harry performs with Blondie last Wednesday at Marina City’s House of Blues. Harry is 66 years old. She founded Blondie with Chris Stein in New York in 1974. The band broke up in 1982 and got back together in 1997. Blondie has sold 40 million records worldwide.

A new album, “Panic of Girls,” was released in May. Reviews of the concert note the band performed 16 songs, many of them new. Jim Ryan at Chicago Now called Harry “the very epitome of a timeless cool.”
