It's been four years since they broke onto the UK indie music scene, though probably about two years since you last heard of them; and now it seems they have gone all electronica on our ass.
Let's start with what we know about The Long Blondes: They are a band, there are five of them, they were formed in Sheffield, they have released one album Someone to Drive You Home (another due 4th April - Couples), Weekend Without Makeup is their biggest single hit to date (no.28, Top 40), they do not listen to The Beatles, they do wear a lot of vintage threads, they are currently embarking on a nationwide tour.

Alex Sim-Wise is a woman. And a very pretty one at that.

Since S Club 7's split, Tina has managed to avoid a lot of the controversy that other S Clubbers have found themselves in - mainly by steering clear of making slightly racist comments on reality TV shows and Agent Codey Banks 2: Destination London. She currently lives in London and spends her time working on solo material and fending off the hamfisted romantic advances of hecklerspray.
