THE COURETTES ( Denmark/Brazil),
The concert is completely sold out. For everyone who has a ticket: Doors open at 7 p.m.!!
It starts early because it’s a Sunday concert!!

The Courettes are an explosive rock duo from Denmark and Brazil! Flavia Couri on vocals and guitar, Martin on loud drums—and together they’re the perfect blend of garage rock, ’60s girl groups, the Wall of Sound, surf music, and doo-wop. It’s like The Ronettes meeting The Ramones at a wild party in Gold Star Studios’ echo chamber!

The Courettes are praised by the coolest music magazines around the world. In 2020, the band signed with the legendary British label Damaged Goods Records, placing them on the same roster as top international rock icons like the Buzzcocks, Amyl and the Sniffers, Billy Childish, and many others.
Their first single on Damaged Goods, “Want You! Like A Cigarette,” was released in 2020 in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the first pressing of the 7” vinyl sold out in two weeks. “This extraordinary 45 marries a super-charged pop A-side with a charging, rampaging B-side,” wrote Kieron Tyler (Mojo, UK). A brand-new single, “Hop The Twig,” will be released this spring and is an exciting blend of garage, surf, ’60s girlie pop, and riot grrrl attitude.

“Back In Mono,” the duo’s third album, is currently being mixed in Japan by Wall of Sound aficionado Seiki Sato and showcases the band at their best, demonstrating great songwriting skills, Spectoresque arrangements, and broader nuances, influences, and sonic qualities added to their garage rock formula. The tracks are a mix of teen-trash-tragedy garage meets The Ronettes and The Ramones in Gold Star Studios’ echo chamber. Fuzz guitars, loud drums, trashy pianos, jingle bells, tambourines, and three-minute dance-floor garage killers where a Wall of Sound blasts the songs out of the speakers!

One of the hardest-working bands on the European rock scene, The Courettes have a reputation for delivering full-throttle, energetic performances—“The Courettes’ full-bore attack would do any festival proud” (Kieron Tyler – Mojo, UK)—and have played in 15 countries across Europe and Brazil. In 2020, despite the pandemic, the band kept the momentum going and impressively played 25 concerts in Denmark, Germany, France, and Norway, demonstrating their never-ending passion, dedication, and commitment to their career. Flavia Couri (vocals, guitar) and Martin Couri (drums, vocals) have performed at festivals such as Eurosonic (Netherlands), Reeperbahn and Garageville (Germany), Azkena Rock Festival (Spain), Roots & Roses (Belgium), Bukta (Norway), Cosmic Trip (France), Franklin Fest (UK), Gutter Island, SPOT, Distortion, and Copenhagen Psych Fest (Denmark). They have also toured in Sweden, Finland, Austria, Italy, Portugal, and Brazil, sharing the stage with artists such as The Sonics, The Pretty Things, Holly Golightly, The Bellrays, Jon Spencer, the B-52’s, the Stray Cats, Kitty, Daisy and Lewis, Gang of Four, Weezer, Franz Ferdinand, and more.

By Gereon Helmer (Ox Magazine, Germany)

“Crooked girl group love songs fueled by a diet of bathtub amphetamines”
Henry Hutton (Shindig!, UK)

“Like an amped-up version of The Kinks meets The Sonics in a dark alley”
