The Courettes bring explosive garage rock to The 1865, blending 60s girl group influences with garage rock and Wall of Sound production.
The Courettes play The 1865 on Wednesday 2 September, bringing their garage rock to Southampton for the evening. It's a Brazilian-Danish duo, and they're the only name on the bill.
Their sound sits at a cross between 60s girl group melodies and raw garage rock, all held together by a Wall of Sound production style that fills out the room. They describe their live show as raw, and the comparisons they draw on tell you where they're coming from: The Detroit Cobras, The Fuzztones and The Fleshtones. If you know those names, you'll have a good idea of the territory they're working in — gritty, high-energy rock and roll that doesn't polish away the rough edges. It's the kind of thing that works best when it's played loud and live.
The Brazilian-Danish pairing is part of the story too, and the two of them handle the whole thing themselves. Between the 60s girl group influence and the garage rock, there's a fair bit of ground to cover in one set, and they're the only ones on stage to do it.
