The Courettes (lead guitarist/singer Flavia Couri and drummer Martin Couri) aka the “hardest working band in showbiz” are thrilled to be playing their first headline shows in the US this month! Expect excitement, danger, sweat, explosive performances, and most importantly, GREAT tunes! An explosive (husband and wife) rock duo from Denmark and Brazil, they’ve been touring nonstop throughout Europe since 2015, bringing their perfect blend of garage rock, 60s Girl Groups, Wall of Sound, surf music and doo wop to the delight of any audience even remotely interested in rock ‘n’ roll.
A special US/Canada-only compilation, Boom! Dynamite (An Introduction To The Fabulous Courettes), is available on limited edition orange vinyl and features material from the duo’s previously-released albums. From Here Are The Courettes, their debut album from 2015, you ́ll find ‘I’ve Been Walking’, ‘Push It Too Hard’ (a duet with Kim Kix of Powersolo), both raw and rocking, along with a 2021 re-recording of ‘The Boy I Love’, which heads deep down the ‘60s Girl Group alley. On We Are The Courettes, their second album, the duo began using overdubs in the studio. You can hear Flavia singing harmonies and playing piano and organ on the swinging tracks ‘Time is Ticking’ and ‘Strawberry Boy’. The album also contained the garage nerve of ‘Hoodoo Hop’ and ‘Voodoo Doll’, featuring legendary Brazilian Horror icon Coffin Joe on spells.
The brilliant Back in Mono album found the duo on top songwriting form and is represented on the compilation by ‘Hop The Twig’, ‘Want You! Like a Cigarette’, ‘Night Time (The Boy of Mine)’, ‘R.I.N.G.O’ and ‘Misfits & Freaks’. ‘Only Happy When You’re Gone’ is a hidden gem from Back in Mono (B-Sides & Outtakes), and the fantastic single ‘Christmas (I Can Hardly Wait)’ is included for the first time on an album.
The Courettes are pure dynamite! Turn up the volume and fuzz out! BOOM!
