Blondie has just rolled out a 10-date summer tour with legendary punk rockers, the Damned. As it stands now, the bands will kick things off on August 12th at Mashantucket, Connecticut’s Grand Theater and wrap things up on August 27th in Chicago at the Chicago Theatre.

Debbie Harry says that with radio playing so hard to specific and narrow demographics, the Internet provides a wider range of musical choices for perspective fans that radio ever did: “Y’know, my audience is, y’know, the spectrum of ages. It’s not just one little demographic, it’s a lot of different demographics and I think people now, because of the Internet, they really get to choose. They’re not really being force-fed. They can really select, they can shop, they can listen, they can. . . y’know, it’s a much more open field.”
