What’s the matter with kids these days? Not content with just making an ungodly noise, they also model themselves on Sylvia Plath, formulating ideas of female identity that are equal parts fun and bloodthirsty. We’re not talking about NYC (where shadows of Lydia Lunch and Patti Smith still linger), but the back roads of Guadalajara, Mexico, where Teri Gender Bender conceived Le Butcherettes. She’s played with just about every Mexican band worth mentioning, while Jack White’s The Dead Weather and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs invited her to open their Mexican shows, and Omar Lopez Rodriguez of The Mars Volta agreed to produce the first album.
