le butcherettes





"i remember being in high school and thinking that the teachers were really lazy. i hid in feminists books, not the anti-men type of books but more of the women's rights type of readings. somewhere i got this idea to make a band that would keep that concept alive. i wanted to talk about the exploitation of women as sex objects and slaves, and that's what le butcherettes does through its music.
"teri gender bender" is not what it sounds like, i'm not a transvestite. more power to them for being who they are, but the name “gender bender” means that our genders really don't matter. if you think about it, our last names don't exist. my mother's last name comes from her father, my grandmother's last name comes from her father, and so on. “gender bender” is meant metaphorically where i take the gender and throw it out the window because the gender doesn't matter and i don't care about it."
teri gender bender, en al borde.

teresa suárez dejó sus estudios de filosofía por el rock'n'roll, cambió su nombre a teri 'gender bender' y montó el dúo le butcherettes junto a la percusionista auryn jolene. poco tardaron en llamar la atención gracias a una puesta en escena inspirada en los años 50, donde se presentaban como esclavas del hogar, armadas con escobas, plumeros y guitarras, sangre, huevos y cabezas de cerdo. un discurso furioso contra los roles establecidos, sociales y de género, el patriarcado y la explotación, envuelto en celofán de garage-punk, que teri fue precisando, ya sin jolene, cuando dejó la escena underground mejicana para establecerse en los ángeles.

le butcherettes son ahora un trío. en 2011 publicaron su primer álbum, "sin sin sin", producido por omar rodríguez lópez y actualmente trabajan en el segundo, mientras preparan su presentación en el coachella de este año.

Love your website. And thanks a lot for linking to mine. My Spanish is not great, but I used a website translator. You've got a lot of bands on here I didn't know about. I can't wait to listen to some of them.
