Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and Teri Gender Bender & Lia Braswell of Le Butcherettes in their trailer at Coachella.

Inside a small trailer backstage at Coachella yesterday, Omar Rodriguez-Lopez was trying to cool down after his first performance of the day, and the dressing room wasn’t much cooler than the triple-digit heat outside. Rodriguez-Lopez pulled double duty on both festival weekends in Indio, California, playing lead guitar with the reunited At the Drive-In on the main stage just hours after a full set on bass with Le Butcherettes, the fiery garage-punk band whose next album he is currently producing in Los Angeles.

Rodriguez-Lopez is a full permanent member of Le Butcherettes, and during the trio’s raging 45-minute set, he stood back with a smile as Guadalajaran singer-guitarist Teri Gender Bender roared through anxious pop hooks with sharp edges, at one point tossing a big Casio keyboard into the moshing crowd. New drummer Lia Braswell slammed a heavy beat from stage left and fans waved Mexican flags, as they would again later for At the Drive-In. Soon after, Rodriguez-Lopez sat with Le Butcherettes for several rounds of bottled water and talked with Rolling Stone about their busy Coachella week.

Is playing two sets a day a challenge?
Rodriguez-Lopez: No, it’s a blessing. Go play music all day? I should be so lucky. Last weekend we played, then we cooled off, we ate, and then just when you really feel like you’re winding down, “Oh, it’s time to play.” It’s perfect.

Le Butcherettes es un trio de garage-punk liderado por la intensa Teri Gender Bender (nacida Teresa Suárez) cuyas explosivas presentaciones en vivo han dado mucho de qué hablar a la blogosfera musical en los últimos años. Si no conoces aún del grupo, éste es un buen momento para comenzar. La banda recién editó su disco debut, Sin Sin Sin, producido por el incansable Omar Rodríguez López de The Mars Volta – quien también contribuye tocando el bajo para la producción. El disco ha recibido muy buenas reseñas en el mercado norteamericano, con críticos como el reconocido Jim DeRogatis declarándolo “absolutamente necesario y esencial”.

Le Butcherettes tuvo sus comienzos como un duo en la ciudad de Guadalajara en México, donde luego de un EP, Kiss & Kill (2008), pasaron a abrirle a grupos comoYeah Yeah Yeahs, The Dead Weather y The Flaming Lips. Ahora basada en Los Ángeles y con disco debut recién lanzado, Teri estrena una nueva versión de Le Butcherettes con los músicos Gabe Serbian (batería, también de The Locust) y Jonathan Hischke (bajista y tecladista, también de Hella y Broken Bells) en gira junto a las veteranas bandas Deftones y Dillinger Escape Plan.

Tuvimos el gran gusto de hablar con Teri sobre esa gira, sobre el proceso de grabar Sin Sin Sin junto a Omar, y de ahí pasamos a otros temas como lo extraño que fue su bautizo y lo que verdaderamente considera una experiencia religiosa – el haber conocido a la leyenda del punk Mike Watt. 

PRI: ¿Cómo va la gira?

Le Butcherettes frontwoman Teri Gender Bender has little patience for unenthusiastic crowds, especially ones in Arizona. Hesitant to play the band’s Mesa show on their recent stint with Deftones, Gender Bender, raised in Mexico from age 14, made it a point to mark her territory, expressing her angst towards the state’s controversial immigration law.

“I got offstage in the big grass area, and got next to some bros that were sitting down…and pissed next to them without taking off anything. I just felt better that way,” she commented, adding that “I hate when people sit down [during shows], it’s so rude!”

A band consisting of ex-Hella bassist Jonathan Hischke and former Cattle Decapitation/The Locust drummer Gabe Serbian, the group has been leaving its mark on more than just grassy fields. Having recently completed a US trek with Deftones and The Dillinger Escape Plan, the band will continue to support its 2010 effort Sin, Sin, Sin on Lollapalooza and an upcoming West Coast run with Queens of the Stone Age. And if all goes as planned, the band will enter the studio in fall to record its second album (the first with its revised lineup of Hischke and Serbian) with The Mars Volta guitarist Omar Rodriguez Lopez at the production helm; he also produced the group’s debut outing.
