If you haven’t heard about Le Butcherettes, I am surprised. I mean, maybe the gentle pulse of hype has missed you, but just seeing their name had to invoke some curiosity with its implicit violence and Spanish roots. And these are not red herrings. A little digging and you will discover that the band is indeed from Mexico City and want their to be a little violence in their rock. And, well, good.
Le Butcherettes will make their formal debut with Sin Sin Sin, their May 10th full-length debut on Rodriguez Lopez Productions. The record will feature 13 tracks of music that has drawn comparisons to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Patti Smith and Bikini Kill. The band also has a series of live dates that includes SXSW, so take a look at them and check the group out for yourself. Dates and track listing below.
