BURIED BLONDE

Buried Blonde is a rock band formed in Shoreline, Washington, in 2020 by vocalist, rhythm-guitarist, and songwriter Lauren Flynn. After playing numerous livestreams to support Seattle venues during lockdown, they responded to requests for more music by recording their debut 4-song EP, What Now? at Robert Lang’s studio in Seattle. Originally released in September 2022, they re-released it in February 2023, remastered by Tad Doyle. The EP was promoted through regional live shows and met with success, receiving airplay across the country and on Little Stevens Underground Garage on Sirius XM. Their sound has been described as “a perfect representation of how to capture the spirit of early 90’s rock without sounding like a carbon copy or cliche.” The group is comprised of four seasoned musicians who all met in Seattle: Lauren is an accomplished songwriter and rhythm guitarist who has recorded and led projects all over the west coast, lead guitarist Nick Kurtz has played with national and touring acts throughout Knoxville and Seattle, bassist Aniela Marie Perry studied under Wrecking Crew legend Carol Kaye and has been known to sit in on cello, and drummer Jeff Nelson rounds out the line-up with experience in rock and punk bands from Seattle to Anacortes. They have quickly gained a regional following through performances promoting the EP and are currently recording their first full length album, with the first single, “Perfect Machine,” out now. They deliver a high-energy show with Lauren’s soaring vocals set against screaming lead guitar, throbbing distorted basslines, and galloping drum beats.
