Blood always tells.
When you open for such tutelary figures as Queens Of The Stone Age, Jello Biafra, The Melvins, Iggy Pop, The Flaming Lips, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Dead Weather, ... ;
When you have Kathleen Hanna (Bikini Kill) as a personal hero and are first spotted by Omar Rodriguez Lopez (At The Drive In / Mars Volta) during a dark power-cut set in Guadalajara ;
When you team up with this same Omar Rodriguez Lopez to play in a band called Bosnian Rainbows and got into another side-project with John Frusciante (RHCP) called Kimono Kult ... ;
When you have Henry Rollins and Shirley Manson featuring on your last album ...;
let be honest, you just can't be on the wrong track ! 
Teri Gender Bender is not and her band, "Le Butcherette" is no exception to the rule either. First formed at an early age in Guadalajara, the band has constantly been fuelled by Teri's rage, especially against women discrimination and male chauvinism in Mexico. At that time, back in 2009, her performances often included pig's head, broom, bloody butcher's apron (still today's outfit) to denounce "the piece of meat" image women were often associated to and she had been confronted to too often in her country. Without being exclusive, her feminist cause first rallied her friend and gorgeous drummer Auryn Jolene for crazy and high-energy sets, where they were often just considered as"clowns" and received petty coins, thrown at them by the male audience. To find decent footage from this era is quite hard and the material is usually shaky and rough. Though, I decided to keep a couple of them here just to feel the wild energy spurting out their shows. Teri was just over 20 in those days !  
The band has gone through many line-ups since, especially when Teri decided to migrate to LA to give the band the opportunity to be appreciated for what it's worth. Omar Rodrigez Lopez helped a lot, becoming their producer and bass player. Teri is now joined on stage by Lia Braswell on drums and Chris Common on bass. The lunatic intensity is still raging but more, Teri's voice has grown bigger in her variety and mastery. You can't miss it out on her last release, "Cry Is For The Flies", one of the greatest albums of 2014, no doubt !!
True, one can't help thinking of a new PJ Harvey, but while Polly has this rage boiling underneath, Teri just lets it go all the way, making her shows looking more like an unleashed set of Iggy Pop, who himself is a fan !
I've tried to find watchable live bits, for lack of a complete show (if anyone has one, let me know ...), mostly pro or semi-pro shot but as I've already said, I've sometimes kept some rougher material just to live the electrifying atmosphere as one can experience, in the moshpit, at Teri's feet ...

Enjoy,

Cheers !
