Concrete Blonde due
Concrete Blonde, featuring Johnette Napolitano, will be coming to Honolulu for one concert only at 8 p.m. June 21 at World Cafe. Tickets for the all-ages show go on sale May 25, at $20 general for all ages.The Los Angeles post-punk icons were born out of the same literary rock scene that launched X and the Plimsouls. Although the band broke into the mainstream with "Joey" in 1990, Concrete Blonde shunned commercial success and followed by dabbling with Latin music, releasing "Mexican Moon" in 1993.
Politically active, the group's members continue to volunteer their time and talent to a number of causes, most recently headlining a benefit concert for the teen runaway organization Children of the Night.
"Group Therapy" was the band's first album of all-new material since 1994.
