What a “Back 2 The Future” feature we have today! Brought to you by Blondie’s official YouTube unleashing 1990s “Maria” (Behind The Scenes.)
Director Rob Roth exhumed a very stellar rare, never before seen behind‑the‑scenes footage circa 1999.
According to sources, filmed on Hi‑8 video. Backdrop setting was in Manhattan, NY.
Fresh music, bold entertainment, and men’s fashion—one tight email a week.
Thee archive visuals features Clem Burke, Debbie Harry, Jimmy Destri, Chris Stein, and local artist Romy Ashby.
Blondie is currently celebrating the re‑release of their 1999 album No Exit, making this archival drop feel perfectly timed with the band’s renewed spotlight on that era.
This resurfaced footage offers a raw, unfiltered look at Blondie’s late‑90s creative energy — a moment in time when the band was gearing up for a major resurgence. The grainy Hi‑8 texture only adds to the charm, grounding the visuals in that unmistakable pre‑digital era grit. Roth’s camera captures candid exchanges, quiet in‑between moments, and the electric chemistry that defined Blondie’s enduring legacy.
For fans, archivists, and nostalgia‑hunters alike, this is the kind of drop that feels like opening a time capsule sealed with hairspray, eyeliner, and pure New York cool.
