Garage-punk trio Le Butcherettes are currently at work on a followup to last year’s breakout debut, Sin Sin Sin. That hasn’t kept Teri Gender Bender out of the public eye, however. The group’s charismatic singer/guitarist/keyboardist recently recorded a captivating live acoustic set for NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert series.

Le Butcherettes also announce today they will perform at this year’s Coachella festival on both Sundays, April 15th and 22nd in Indio, CA. Omar Rodriguez Lopez (At the Drive In, The Mars Volta)—who is also reprising his role as producer and bass player for the band’s sophomore album—will be playing bass for these shows.

Media dsarling garage-punk trio, Le Butcherettes announce a slew of shows for the Fall, including support dates with Iggy & The Stooges and the Flaming Lips, as well as the band’s first headlining shows on the East Coast and Chicago. The band will also perform at this year’s Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin, TX on November 6th. Please see complete dates below.

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.

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.
