Le Butcherettes, a band that exploded on the rock scene and has toured extensively throughout the U.S., Europe and Latin America, have participated in diverse music festivals and shared the stage with some of the biggest names in the rock world.

 

The bands' growing prestige has led them to share the stage on tours with names such as The Flaming Lips, Queens Of The Stone Age, The Deftones, Janes Addiction, The Mars Volta, The Dead Weather, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Pixies and Iggy Pop & The Stooges, just to mention a few. They were also invited to play festivals like Sonar in Barcelona, Corona Capital, Lollapalooza, Coachella and Fun Fun Fun Fest.

 

ANTEMASQUE is a rock band formed in 2014 by former members of At The Drive-In and The Mars Volta, Omar Rodríguez-López and Cedric Bixler-Zavala.  Some of their first tracks featured Red Hot Chili Peppers's Flea on bass and Dave Elitch on drums.

 

On April 9, 2014 the project was announced, and they released their first single "4AM" on the same day.  Rolling Stone described the song as "a charging, punkish rocker with the sorts of squiggly noodling that both the Mars Volta guys and Flea have used as calling cards in their respective groups."

 

"Gender Bender has a tremendous gift for capturing feelings and emotional processes that are difficult to narrate, including guilt. It's interesting that such a young woman - someone who grew up in the era of singles - would craft an album so beautifully narrative as a whole" - Jasmine Garsd, NPR First Listen

 

"Cry Is For the Flies is a high-end studio work with an experienced producer. The album is darker, with Suarez's vocal work stronger and more mature" - LA Weekly

 

"Cry is for the Flies is a display of an artist coming to terms with her world, bringing a sample of her raw nerves and guts for the listener's pleasure and, perhaps, even their sympathy" - Remezcla

 

""Bender's lyrics read like a descriptive narrative; telling stories of guilt, new beginnings, overcoming stigmas, and many other heavy topics. The album is beautifully written and will envelope you whole" - Grimy Goods
