The Courettes (lead guitarist/singer Flavia Couri and drummer Martin Couri) are an explosive rock duo from Denmark and Brazil who have found the perfect blend between garage rock, 60s Girl Groups, Wall of Sound, surf music and doo wop. After receiving high praise from the UK music press, the band signed with legendary British label, Damaged Goods, putting them on the same roster as acts such as Amyl and the Sniffers, Buzzcocks, Billy Childish, and many others. Their most recent album, “Back in Mono”, had rave reviews across the board and was featured in countless Best Albums of 2021 lists.
To coincide with The Courettes’ first US shows, and as an introduction to the band in the States, a special compilation album, Boom! Dynamite (An Introduction To The Fabulous Courettes), will be released May 12th. The US-only compilation includes singles and deep cuts from their three studio albums, with B-sides and rarities thrown in for good measure! The first pressing is on sunny orange vinyl and is limited to 1000 copies. The band will also hit the West Coast in May for select dates, as well as Gonerfest in the fall and will be announcing more US shows in the near future.
