DU BLONDE
Du Blonde comes to Future Yard!
The audacious alter ego of multi-instrumentalist, producer, and visual artist Beth Jeans Houghton comes to Birkenhead on Friday 14th November – a Newcastle-born creative whose trajectory has taken her from folk-rock curiosity to full-throttle alt-rock juggernaut as Du Blonde, a firebrand persona defined by snarling punk edges, fuzz-drenched guitars, and a fierce do-it-yourself ethos.
Her latest album, 2024’s Sniff More Gritty, sees Du Blonde pushing her sound to newfound extremes, layering explosive riffs and searing vocals into an eclectic collage of punk ferocity and power-pop hooks. Capturing the chaotic spirit of a live performance, the record veers from unbridled aggression to disarming vulnerability—a testament to her unwillingness to be fenced in by genre lines or industry norms.
Celebrated for her raw, cathartic live shows, she leaves audiences enthralled by her commanding stage presence and unvarnished passion. For fans and newcomers alike, Du Blonde stands as a symbol of creative reinvention and unflinching authenticity in modern alt-rock—an artist who refuses to play by anyone else’s rule.
Tickets on sale Friday 20th June.
Operating through her own label, Daemon T.V., Du Blonde tackles every aspect of creation—from raw, high-voltage production to striking illustrations and music videos that bristle with humor and irreverence. Over the years, her boundary-busting collaborations with the likes of Shirley Manson (Garbage) and Ezra Furman have proven her magnetic pull within the music community, while her restless creativity consistently upends expectations.
