Brisbane’s baby, Flamingo Blonde is quickly becoming one of 2022’s ones to watch, making a name for themselves as they bring hot hooks and running guitars back to the table.
Following a triple threat of burning singles ‘Picture Me Gone’, ‘Hotel Gloria’ and ‘On Your Side’ that have resonated with the sound of fresh humid sunshine and cool summer nights, Flamingo Blonde brings broad reference points together into tongue-in-cheek music that is unequivocally blonde.
Flamingo Blonde is the project of James Bartlett, supported by the best band this side of the brown snake, The Brunettes. In only a short time, The Flamingo Blonde live show has become synonymous with the spirit of Brisbane: warm and untamed.
An unpredictable experience that has to be seen up close; Flamingo Blonde has supported the likes of Last Dinosaurs, Hope D, Jaguar Jonze and Beddy Rays. On top of that, they’ve proven that their sunny sounds can pull a major crowd, selling out hometown shows at The Zoo and The Brightside just last year. James’ skillful and unmatched songwriting found him working with US-based heavyweight, Grammy-winning engineer Steve Fallone.
While Flamingo Blonde’s debut single ‘Picture Me Gone” and its accompanying video was hand-selected by Rage as their ‘Wild One Of The Week’, their latest single ‘On Your Side’ was picked up for a coveted video premiere triple j unearthed.
