the iconic New York rock club that started a music moment five decades ago.In fact, the all-female act made themselves so at home at the East Village institution that they once played in their pajamas at a benefit gig — with a loaded lineup including Patti Smith, Elvis Costello and CBGB house band Mink DeVille — after club owner Hilly Kristal kept pushing their set time back.“We used to use the Ramones’ loft around the corner [at 6 East 2nd St., now known as Joey Ramone Place] as our dressing room because it was horrible at CBGB,” Ross told The Post.“So we went over to the Ramones loft, and we changed into our pajamas. And we wore these pink flannel pajamas and cowboy boots back over to CBGB’s, and we brought pillows.

Glastonbury 2023: Glen Matlock on playing with Blondie, solo work and “self-centred nitwit politicians”

Sex Pistols guitarist Glen Matlock caught up with NME backstage at Glastonbury 2023 to tell us about returning to the festival to play with Blondie and his successful solo career.After being announced last year to appear on Blondie’s new album – the follow-up to 2017’s ‘Pollinator‘ – the punk veteran has also been playing with the art-pop icons for recent world tour commitments, performing to a huge Pyramid Stage on the closing day of Glastonbury on Sunday (June 24).Before he took to the stage, NME asked the bass legend if he could recall the first time he met the band.“I can’t remember exactly because I was probably really drunk and out of it, but I think I met them first when I did a for-one-night-only gig with Sid Vicious at the Electric Ballroom in ‘78 or ‘79,” he replied. “Blondie turned up as a band, and I think that’s when I met Clem [Burke] and Debbie [Harry] for the first time.“What I thought was quite sweet about them was that when bands go on tour and have a night off, everyone tends to filter off somewhere – but they always seemed to be out and about as a band.

Debbie Harry reflects on NYC, punk — and playing Glastonbury at 77

next week’s Glastonbury Festival in Somerset, England, with her longtime band, Blondie, and she wouldn’t have it any other way. “We’re still playing music and being creative and that’s the essence of it all, isn’t it?” she told The Times of London Friday. Harry, who has been fronting Blondie since 1974 save for a 15-year hiatus between 1982 and 1997, will play Glastonbury for the third time on Sunday, between Yusuf/Cat Stevens and Lil Nas X. The band performed in 1999 and 2014, and the fashion icon fondly remembers what she wore for her inaugural show. “The first time I was wearing an Elsa Schiaparelli hat, so I think I was very happy about that. It was red flowers on a straw bucket, and I thought I was really chic.” Harry also recalled a very punk-rock moment on one of the Glastonbury trips — when her bandmates broke into Stonehenge. “The boys were all very excited, and they climbed over the fence, ran over and touched the stone,” the “Heart of Glass” singer said.
