Product Description

A rock and roll group for rock and roll fans produced by Liam Watson (The White Stripes, The Kills, The Datsuns) that refuse to go unnoticed. They are demanding, they are sexy, they are manipulative, they are raw, and they are called The Ettes. The Ettes debut titled "Shake The Dust" is fused with early punk and beat bands such as The Stooges, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones along with 60's melodic country acts such as Patsy Cline and Nancy Sinatra. Comparisons to such contemporary acts as The Strokes, The Yeah, Yeah, Yeah's and Thee Headcoats are not uncommon. With such tracks as "Dead and Gone" that sound as if your speakers have been slit with a razorblade to the hard hitting, spacey, garage rock feel of "Reputation", the impact of The Ettes cannot be denied. Founded in 2004 after moving west from NYC, Coco, Jem and Poni met up in Los Angeles and immediately struck up an explosive musical relationship that did not go unnoticed by the underground scene thanks to radio stations such as KXLU, WFMU and sponsored shows in NYC by KCRW. Eventually the music surfaced from the underground and landed in the office of Indie 103.1, one of L.A.'s premier commercial rock stations. The Ettes have shared the stage with such acts as The Go-Go's, The New York Dolls, and The Muffs. Look for "Shake The Dust" hitting a street corner near you in September 2006 from Sympathy For The Record Industry.
