Either way, looking forward muchly to this.

Lesbians on Ecstasy re-radicalize gay zombies with dance moves and debauchery


by Raf Katigbak

After exploding onto the Montreal music scene three years ago, and then logging extensive tour mileage and media adulation, Montreal's Lesbians on Ecstasy are back with a vengeance: darker, louder and drunker than ever. "I feel we've all become way harsher alcoholics since we started touring," reveals technical mastermind Bernie Bankrupt, half jokingly, "which is a lot to say, since we were really big drinkers to begin with. It really takes the edge off of touring."

And tour they have. Thanks to opening slots with underground sensations Le Tigre, LOE have managed to empty fridges in 11 European countries and in almost every major city across the United States and Canada-no small feat for a band that does mostly covers. But rest assured, there's nothing gimmicky about LOE?s electro-punk reworkings of lesbian anthems by Indigo Girls, Tracy Chapman, Melissa Etheridge and k.d. lang. With solid production and a darker, nu-goth-metal-tinged live show that's an all-out, in-your face dance riot, the quartet rounded out by frontwoman Fruity Frankie (aka Lynne T), bassist Véronique Mystique and drummer Jackie the Jackhammer is set to make waves again with the imminent release of their remix album Giggles in the Dark. With an emphasis on DJ-friendliness, the nine-track, vinyl-only release features thumping remixes of their debut full-length by Le Tigre, Scream Club, Tracy & the Plastics, Sean Kosa, 1-Speed Bike, Katastrophe, DJ Aï, Jody Bleyle and Kids on TV.

Add to that plans to return to Europe in the spring to support the release of a track on a Chicks on Speed Records compilation, and possibly a split seven-inch on a London label, for the Lesbians on Ecstasy, it seems the world is their oyster.
