Le Butcherettes Unveil Latest Video "give/UP" From Forthcoming Album, "bi/MENTAL" Out February 1st

Punk rock darlings, Le Butcherettes unveil their latest video "give/UP" from forthcoming studio album "bi/MENTAL". The single will be available on all digital platforms on Friday, January 18th. The new album "bi/MENTAL" will be released on February 1st via Rise Records. The band will also head to Europe for a tour next March/April. Check out the dates below.

“'give/UP' is an ode to letting go of a loved one that has never believed in you and made it very difficult to the self to be free. Sometimes it is okay to move on after years of pleading for a change. If they don’t fight for you why continue fighting for them? Using that energy for a positive change instead”.Teresa Suárez Cosío (Teri Gender Bender).

The video was shot in Los Angeles, CA in an abandoned warehouse in DTLA and was directed by Gus Black (Gary Clark Jr., Sheryl Crow, The Used, Deftones) who has directed the last four videos for the new album. Le Butcherettes deliver a strong performance that is sure to leave you wondering the meaning behind this new video.

The band worked on new album with iconic Talking Heads member Jerry Harrison(No Doubt, Violent Femmes, KD Lang) as the producer, adding a new creative environment and creating another dimension to the band’s sound.

The band dissect the meaning of family on their fourth full-length album, "bi/MENTAL" and first on Rise Records. Themes of internal and familial strife hang over the opener and first single "spider/WAVES" (feat. Jello Biafra). The song is a ticking timebomb of riffs, clicks and clacks as Teresa Suárez howls falsetto swings towards a searing screech punctuated by spoken word from the Dead Kennedys frontman.

"bi/MENTAL" is a personal ode to mental health and filled with equal parts cerebral poetry, art assault, and primal punk cacophony. The album includes 13 tracks that represent the Guadalajara-born and El Paso-based group at its most incisive and infectious album to date and includes additional features by Latina punk-rock demigod, Alice Bag on "mothers/HOLD" and a feature by alternative pop darling, Mon Laferte from Chile on "la/SANDÍA".

Le Butcherettes are: Teri Gender Bender (vocals/guitar/piano), Alejandra Robles Luna (drums), Rikardo Rodríguez-López (guitars) and Marfred Rodríguez-López(bass).

European Tour Dates:

  • Tue 26th MARCH - Hotel Cecil (COPENHAGEN, DK)
