The Ettes

I got very excited when I first heard this band. I’ve been craving some seriously rockin’ tunes, because though wonderful, the last few new bands I came across have been mellow and sweet.

What a breath of fresh air The Ettes are! Imagine if in some alternate universe Nancy Sinatra had fronted The Stooges. They’re stompin’ loud, psychedelic and fronted by an ass-kicking lady. Their debut album Shake The Dust came out two months ago. You can sneak a taste of it over on myspace. Especially “Dead And Gone” really gets my blood flowing, the garage bluesy wall of sound and the angry vocals are absolutely exhilarating.
