The side project of
the Blood Brothers'
Johnny Whitney and
Mark Gajadhar,
Neon Blonde features a similarly formidable, serrated attack as the duo's main band, albeit with a more eclectic, electronic-tinged twist. After writing and recording for more than a year, the duo issued the
Headlines EP in summer 2005; that fall, the full-length debut
Chandeliers in the Savannah -- which added saxophonist Joel Culpin -- arrived, bringing with it an even more freewheeling take on
Neon Blonde's sound. ~ Heather Phares
