Flamingo Blonde is the indie/alternative rock project of Brisbane (Magandjin)-based musician James Bartlett, known for blending punchy guitar-driven sounds with catchy pop sensibilities. Emerging from the local Brisbane scene, the project has built a reputation for energetic and unpredictable live performances, often selling out hometown shows and sharing stages with acts like Last Dinosaurs, Hope D, and Jaguar Jonze. Musically, Flamingo Blonde sits across indie rock, indie pop, and alternative, drawing comparisons to artists such as Ball Park Music, DJO, and Car Seat Headrest. The project’s sound combines bright, sun-soaked hooks with tongue-in-cheek storytelling and a nostalgic nod to 2000s guitar bands, creating a style that feels both playful and emotionally resonant. Since debuting, Flamingo Blonde has released a string of well-received singles and the EP Two Trick Pony (2023), continuing to gain traction through platforms like triple j Unearthed and live performances across Australia.
