All Music Guide:
Le Butcherettes were founded in Mexico in 2008 by vocalist/guitarist Teri Gender Bender (Denver-born and Mexican-bred Teri Suarez) and former drummer Auryn Jolene. The band quickly garnered underground acclaim for its outrageous live shows: They dressed in '50s-era women's clothing, and employed --for p[olitical purpoises--feather dusters, brooms, aprons, fake blood, flour, eggs, meat, and a real pig's head--depicting women as slaves of the household. Jolene left the band in 2009. Gender Bender relocated to Los Angeles and recruited drummer Gabe Serbian of the Locust and itinerant bassist Jonathan Hischke (whose credits include Marnie Stern, Aaron Ross, and Joan of Arc), making Le Butcherettes a trio. The new band quickly gained recognition among musicians, which led to Le Butcherettes opening for Dead Weather in Mexico City and Guadalajara, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs in their three Mexican shows on their 2010 tour. Mars Volta guitarist, composer, and producer Omar Rodriguez-Lopez signed Le Butcherettes to his own Rodriguez-Lopez Productions imprint in 2010, and shortly thereafter produced their first single, "Henry Don't Got Love," which appeared as a free download. Rodriguez-Lopez also produced and played bass on their debut long-player, Sin Sin Sin, with drummer Normandi Heuxdaflo. The album was issued on his label in the spring of 2011. Even though the recording employed a different lineup, the intial trio configuration remains together as a live unit.

History
First known as a girl band, Le Butcherettes was created by vocalist/guitarist Teri Gender Bender who later recruited drummer Auryn Jolene to complete the duo. Quick acclaim was achieved in the Mexican underground scene for their live act which included both of them dressed in a 1950s fashion referring to women being slaves in home chores, using brooms, feather dusters and bloody aprons. Teri Gender Bender would also use artificial blood, flour, eggs, meat and a real pig head all over the stage, interacting with the public most of the time.
The quick recognition of the band led them to win the award for "Best New Artist" and "Best Punk Record" in the Indie-O Awards 2009. A difference on the band's direction led Auryn Jolene to abruptly leave the band claiming the end of it leading to media confusion. Teri Gender Bender later denied this. She moved the band to Los Angeles recruiting drummer Normandi Heuxdalfo. Le Butcherettes played in a number of events, notably Hellow Fest 2009 in Monterrey and being asked to be the opening act for The Dead Weather in their Mexico City and Guadalajara shows. In January 2010, Le Butcherettes were invited by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs as their opening act for their Mexican shows in Monterrey, Guadalajara and Mexico City.
Omar Rodriguez-Lopez of The Mars Volta produced (as well as contributed bass guitar to) Le Butcherettes' first LP Sin Sin Sin. "Henry Don't Got Love", the first single from the upcoming album, was released in 2010 as a free download from Le Butcherettes' Bandcamp page. The album was released in May 2011 on Omar's label Rodriguez-Lopez Productions. They began touring the U.S. with Deftones and The Dillinger Escape Plan this summer, with the new line-up of Teri, drummer Gabe Serbian (of The Locust) and bassist Jonathan Hischke.
