Watch: The Hickey Underworld - The Making of 'Blonde Fire'
JoeDiddly by Luke Slater October 12th, 2009

Arguably the best thing to come out of Belgium since Thomas Vermaelen, The Hickey Underworld amazed, amused, delighted and most probably disgusted many of the people who happened to stumble across or search out the slightly fucked up video for 'Blonde Fire' earlier in the year.

It is, without a doubt, truly disturbing and utterly not safe for work, vegetarians, or people who are even bordering on squeamish. Watch it below:

So, if you aren't repulsed by that video, and are more intrigued than repelled then you should really consider clicking below, for a mini-documentary on the making of the video of 'Blonde Fire', with the director Joe Vanhouttegem. The single itself came out on October 5, the self-titled album is out today, and the band will also play The Fly in London tomorrow, full tour dates below.

October:

13 - London, The Fly
15 - Breda, Mezz
16 - Sneek, Het Bolwerk
27 - Paris, Nouveau Casino

November:

6 - Sittard, Fenix
8 - Rotterdam, WATT
12 - Stuttgart, Shocken
13 - Heidelberg, Karlstorbahnhof
14 - Frankfurt, Nachtleben
15 - Köln, Werkstatt
17 - Berlin, Bang Bang Club
19 - Zurich, Abert

December:

12 - Emmeloord, De Klos
17 - London, Proud Galleries/Smash&Grab
18 - Zwolle, Hedon
