The Courettes have got into my head since seeing them with Hugh last Thursday. I guess that there are two things going on here. One, it is great to see a woman commanding a stage and an audience in the way that Flávia does, especially in the capacity as a support band. Two, and more importantly/impressively, I have always admired any group of less than a four piece that can make a considerable noise! It's a feat enough for a three piece, but to pull it off with just two band members (with guitar and drums) is something else.
The coming together of musical styles and the whole visual element of the band works so well too, the melding together of The Shangri-La-esque vocals with the dirty garage band twang of The Count Five.
Thanks to the Dime uploader (minimax) for this recording from Dusseldorf's Ratinger Hof last month. The vovals are a bit low, but it serves as a good introduction to the noise that The Courettes make. Thanks also to David Devant for photographs from the night.
