The rampantly raved-about garage-punk trio Le Butcherettes have released an iTunes exclusive live recording captured during SXSW. The 6-song live recording iTunes Live: SXSW features 3 tracks not available on Le Butcherettes forthcoming debut full-length, Sin Sin Sin available in May.
Today, Consequence of Sound premieres one new non-album track, “The Devil Lived” HERE, while iTunes PING is streaming a second non-LP song, “Gold Notebook” HERE.
Surrounding the release of the trio’s album debut, Le Butcherettes will continue to floor audiences (as they have many writers like those quoted above) this spring, playing shows with Deftones and The Dillinger Escape Plan as well as headlining an L.A. album release party on May 10th.
Led by 21-year-old vocalist/guitarist/pianist Teri Gender Bender (a recent transplant to L.A. from Guadalajara, Mexico) Le Butcherettes bring 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) round out the lineup.
Check out MP3s for the first tracks from the album, “Henry Don’t Got Love” HERE and “New York” HERE.
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.
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 will issue the album May 10th, 2011 on Rodriguez Lopez Productions via Sargent House.
