LE BUTCHERETTES - Hard Rock Live - Orlando, FL * May 21, 2011

Unadvertised, and so unexpected by most every attendee who had piled in to the Hard Rock Live to see Deftones and their billed opener, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Le Butcherettes’ appearance on the stage come show time was not immediately welcomed by the mostly macho audience. When a petite girl wearing an overcoat quietly took her place behind a keyboard and eased her band into a pretty melody, mild heckling erupted over my shoulder.

“What is this?! Fucking Lady Gaga?!” called out a bear of a man who didn’t seem to know what Lady Gaga looks or sounds like at all because Le Butcherettes, and front woman Teri Gender Bender, are pretty far from it.

After a couple of unassuming songs sung in the dark, the overcoat came off to reveal a blood-stained apron worn atop a girly, polka-dotted dress. A guitar was grabbed, and a look of sweet naiveté was replaced by a mischievous glare. Teri Gender Bender unleashed the animal within, and Le Butcherettes metamorphosed into a she-beast worthy of all of the Riot Grrrl comparisons you can think of.

Fasten your seat belts: Le Butcherettes are coming to town

“Before I say anything, I need 24 hours to process what I just saw,” Adrián Sosa, drummer for Latin Grammy-winning tango/electrónica collective Bajofondo, said seconds after Le Butcherettes’ show at South by Southwest in March. “This is a very intense, edgy band. And she’s incredible, incredible.”

A writer from the Los Angeles Times would blog later, saying the band was “the best act I saw” at SXSW 2011. Days ago the LA Weekly compared the frontwoman’s voice to that of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Karen O, but added that this one “sets itself apart with a husky rawness that gives her voice a more emotionally authentic feel.”

They were all talking about 22-year-old Teri Gender Bender (born Teresa Suárez in Denver), who moved to Guadalajara when she was 14 and started Le Butcherettes, a female two-piece garage rock band with drummer Auryn Jolene. Their Kiss & Kill EP earned them “Best New Artist” and “Best Punk Record” awards at Mexico’s Indie-O Awards in 2009.
