“Amazon-esque vibes that have already drawn the attention of Liam Fray, Radio 1 & Radio X.” Gigwise

Manchester’s Dirty Blonde are a blonde-bombshell indie rock band, fronted by the powerhouse pairing of Ailis Mackay (vocals, guitar, drums) and Hayley Tait (guitar, backing vocals). In April 2025 they released their second EP, earning them a reputation for punchy guitar work, heartfelt lyrics, and powerful live performances. Drawing on varied influences from indie, pop and classic rock, they bring a fresh take on alt-rock. The band have shared the stage with acts including Sam Fender, Blossoms, Frank Carter and the Sex Pistols, Louis Tomlinson, The Lottery Winners, and The K’s; and grabbed the attention of tastemakers at Radio 1, 6Music, Radio X, and MTV to name a few.
