Love is Blind has been covered by The Bon Bon Club: a collaboration featuring two members of The Long Blondes. It appears on a 7" single released on 23rd June by the Sheffield Phonographic Corporation.
More info:
"The Bon Bon Club are Sushi Quatro (bass, vox), Thirsty Moore (drums,vox) and Chapatti Smith (perc, vox), although Sushi and Thirsty are better known under different names for their day job as the rhythm section of Sheffield glam-popsters The Long Blondes and Chapatti also plays in Slow Down Tallahassee.
On this single The Bon Bon Club hit us with a Hulk-fist sized triple whammy (plus!) of cover versions. Rather than slow the songs down on acoustic guitar to 'show the great songwriting' like every Jo Wiley Live Lounge indie plodder, the Bon Bons strip 'em down and rip 'em up to the real essentials - the bass and drums. This is how you do it.
The covers are The Cure's "Lullaby", Pulp's "Love is Blind" and Death from Above 1979's "Romantic Rights".
You can listen to the song on its last.fm page.

Jarvis Cocker takes listeners on an intimate tour of Sheffield in this evocative Musical Map, creating a soundtrack of music to drive his memories, feelings and observations about his home town.
"Sheffield's my city, it's where I grew up, and although I've moved away for now, I'd like to try and show you around. Sorry if we get lost, it changes every time I come here," he says.
Jarvis recalls his childhood, listening just to conversations about love and disappointment. He introduces the music of Sheffield legends including Joe Cocker, Cabaret Voltaire, Human League and Artery, and remembers how the city came to life with music in the post-punk era.
