#Live Blondshell returns to Detroit to make sure we know her name
Blondshell is back on the road supporting Liz Phair starting November 7. Before that, she will play a pair of shows in the UK and appear at the Iceland Airwaves Festival. She then kicks off 2024 with an AU/NZ run of Laneway Festival shows and her first appearance in Japan on February 13.
With all that being said, we got the chance to catch Blondshell supporting set last night at the Masonic Cathedral in Detroit. It was a fantastic night filled with Liz Phair fans excited to see what Blondshell had in store for them. Some of those fans quickly picked up Blondshell merchandise before she stepped on the stage. If that was a telltale sign that she would be an instant hit with the crowd, we don’t know what it is. Once the lights dropped and the night began, she mainly played from her new album and a cover of Le Tigre’s “Deceptacon.” We checked back on those fans who picked up a few Blondshell merch and couldn’t be happier to snag a shirt or vinyl.
If you are wondering, “Did you guys cover a Blondshell show This year?” The answer is yes. It was the first show of the new year, we had the chance to catch Blondshell-supported Suki Waterhouse. You can see that recap over here.
If you haven’t already got your copy of Blondshell’s self-titled album, we’ve got you covered here.

Blondshell released her eponymous debut album on April 7 via Partisan Records. The album garnered global critical acclaim, solidifying her position as one of the most promising breakthrough artists of the year. The praise continued into the summer, with the LP landing on numerous “best of the year so far” lists, including NPR, NYLON, Consequence, i-D, Uproxx, and Paste. Building on her success, Blondshell dropped a special Deluxe Edition of the LP. Necessitated by the resounding success of her music - measured not just in global sold-out tours, TV performances, and rave reviews - but also in Teitelbaum’s ever-deepening resonance with a devoted fan base, Blondshell Deluxe Edition is anchored by five additional tracks in addition to the original album. The five include a Bossa-Nova-esque reworking of “Tarmac” (dubbed “Tarmac 2”), the previously released standalone single (“Cartoon Earthquake”), and a home demo version of “Kiss City.” The Deluxe version also features two new songs - the open-hearted grunge ballad “Street Rat” and “It Wasn’t Love,” a lilting, haunting, organ-filled ode to a queer relationship.
