Paul Carbonara Interview

I’ve been listening to some of Blondie’s newer stuff like “The Curse of Blondie.” It’s a little different sound. How does it go in concert with the new stuff versus the classic hits?

As you can imagine people love the classic stuff and we also love playing it. But we need to play new material or we’ll shrivel up and die. We try to find a good balance between the two. Blondie fans are great because they want to hear new songs. They would riot if we didn’t play “Heart of Glass”, but they also expect new stuff.

How was it joining a band that had such a big rep? Were you a fan?

The whole mega star thing that Debbie has going was a little scary until I saw she was just a very normal, sweet person. I think it kind of helped that I wasn’t a Blondie fan as a kid. I could just approach it as being in another band and try to figure out how to do a decent job and try to fit in. - Read More
