BLONDIE: How did the band name come about?
Automatic translation. Improvements are constantly being worked on.
After the band around DEBBIE HARRY and CHRIS STEIN had called themselves ANGEL & THE SNAKE for two gigs in August 1974, the time had come in October: BLONDIE was born. In the DEBBIE HARRY biography written by MacKenzie Wilson, it is reported that the name was based on comments from truck drivers who shouted “Hey, Blondie, give us a screw” at Debbie as they drove past, “screw” being the vulgar form of “fuck” in this case.
