Unfortunately we missed the last round of Blondie concerts as they toured with DEVO but now were regretting that decision as media artist Rob Roth shows us the amazing visuals (next to Debbie’s face of course) they brought along with them.
Rock and Roll legend Debbie Harry and her band Blondie teamed up with fellow New Wave pioneers, Devo for their 2012 “Whip It to Shreds” tour. Mill + joined forces with director/artist Rob Roth to create the dynamic visuals for Blondie’s LED video wall backdrop.

Mill NY and LA combined forces to create Roth’s concepts, including a tribute to the infamous New York nightclub Mother, a special nod to Debbie’s friend Andy Warhol, and a “Death Disco Mirrorball” for the encore. Debbie was kind enough to drop by The Mill NY and talk about the tour and the visuals that provided the dazzling backdrop.
It’s Rapture!
