While the real Blondie may never perform live again, fans may be able to catch an incredible simulation as the tribute band Bootleg Blondie continues to perform in the U.K.
Bootleg Blondie is not just another tribute band. It once counted Blondie drummer Clem Burke as a member.
“Someone was making a joke that there's a whole new genre of bands like that now. … I’ve toured in the U.K. with my friends who have a Blondie tribute band called Bootleg Blondie,” he said. “It’s a very interesting experience for me, although somewhat controversial, but I’m able to see that the legacy of Blondie is really the songs.”

Bootleg Blondie has several upcoming gigs in the U.K. lined up, including a tribute show titled “Dreaming of Clem Burke,” on July 31 in London featuring Valentine as a special guest. Part of the proceeds from that gig will go to Lustgarden Pancreatic Cancer Research. At the moment, the band has no U.S. shows booked but they performed at the legendary CBGB in New York in 2006 before the club shut down.
