The Ettes
The Ettes exploded out of the gates with their beat-punk sound in 2004 and haven’t stopped since. Ignited by early punk and beat bands, such as the Stooges, the Ramones, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, as well as more melodic ‘50s-‘60s country acts such as Patsy Cline and Nancy Sinatra, THE ETTES have a rock-and-roll sound all their own. THE ETTES have been compared to Blondie, Thee Headcoatees, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and the Strokes. Their live energy is contagious, with their shows leaving rooms swirling with energy and the crowd demanding more. On the common request for encores, Jem offers, 'If we’re all still standing and the gear can still make noise, we’ll do it!' And after four full U.S. tours in 9 months, the generated buzz is deafening. Moving west from NYC, Coco, Poni, and Jem met up in Los Angeles. Jem’s garage background - paired with Poni’s powerful punk rock beats - fused with Coco’s 60’s country vocals to create a whole new beat-punk rock-and-roll sound that has been blowing people away from Canada and the States to the UK and Europe, and everywhere in between.
