Le Butcherettes’ added to QOTSA dates & Lollapalooza, new video premiered!
The rampantly raved-about garage-punk trio Le Butcherettes have been added to the Lollapalooza lineup on August 5th in Chicago as well as support spots with Queens of the Stone Age on the West Coast the week prior. Keep reading for all of the details below and to check out the video for “New York”.
Additionally, the band will headline the L.A. date of this month’s Sargent House Presents triple bill of Le Butcherettes, Tera Melos and Adebisi Shank that also hits San Francisco (see promo video). European festival shows follow in August. Please see complete dates below.
A live/in-studio video, “New York” culled from Le Butcherettes debut full length Sin Sin Sin can be watched below:
NPR’s All Songs Considered recently served up an exclusive premiere of “I’m Getting Sick of You“HERE. And, check out MP3s for other album tracks, “Henry Don’t Got Love” HERE and “New York” HERE.
Teri Gender Bender — a recent transplant to L.A. from Guadalajara, Mexico — gives Le Butcherettes a brazen intensity and playful, hook-laden simplicity that hacks to pieces all forms of pretension and excess. Upon relocating to Los Angeles in late 2010, Teri recruited renowned drummer Gabe Serbian (The Locust) and bassist Jonathan Hischke (Hella, Broken Bells) to round out the lineup.
The band’s songs and wildly cathartic live shows often draw comparisons to Karen O, Patti Smith Bikini Kill and other female-fronted rock groups. But, there’s a theatricality to Le Butcherettes that brings a further reaching sense of mystery and imagery to the band. For more on the band’s impressive back story, see the complete bio HERE.
Le Butcherettes’ full length debut, Sin Sin Sin was produced by Omar Rodriguez Lopez, who also plays bass on all of the album’s tracks, and issued the album May 10th, 2011 on Rodriguez Lopez Productions via Sargent House.
