About

Atomic: The Songs Of Blondie makes its Fitzroy Bowls Club debut on Friday 6 November 2026, presenting two full sets celebrating one of the most inventive and enduring bands of the modern era.

Emerging from New York City's legendary CBGB scene in the mid-1970s, Blondie refused to be confined by genre. Drawing equally from punk, pop, disco, reggae, power pop and early hip hop, the band continually reinvented itself while producing a remarkable catalogue of songs that remain as fresh and influential today as when they were first released.

Across two hours, Atomic explores that catalogue in depth. Expect classics including Heart Of Glass, Dreaming, Atomic, Call Me, One Way Or Another, Hanging On The Telephone and Rapture, together with carefully selected album tracks that reveal the breadth, ambition and musicianship that made Blondie one of the defining bands of their generation.

Rather than presenting a costume show or a simple greatest-hits performance, Atomic approaches Blondie's music with authenticity, attention to detail and respect for the original recordings. Every performance is designed to capture the excitement, musicianship and spirit that made Blondie one of popular music's most innovative acts.

Atomic features some of Melbourne's most respected musicians:
Anthea Palmer - vocals
Stu Thomas - bass and vocals (Dave Graney & The MistLY, Kim Salmon & The Surrealists)
Garry Allen - guitar and vocals (Crossbones Boogie, Kahuna Daddies)
Mike Dupp - keyboards (The Methinks, The Futurists)
Victor Stranges - drums and vocals (The Methinks, The Futurists)

Collectively, the band brings decades of recording and live performance experience to a show created by musicians who simply love the music they are playing.
