DEBUT U.K. TOUR KICKS OFF
in Saxmundham, Saturday, 18 Sept
les baton rouge could be the best band you've never heard of, which is a
shame because you're missing out on a band who play this ripping garage punk
sound mixed with new wave, a blast, fronted by the marlene dietrich of punk
rock - Suspiria Franklyn. it won't be a secret much longer especially
having Peaches spreading the word, in a recently MTV interview she had this
to say: "les baton rouge is one of my favorite bands at the moment, they are
the female dead kennedys! everyone should check it out!"
les baton rouge have been recording new material with their new drummer
Rainer Baumgartner and preparing for their
DEBUT UK tour.

Hailing from Lisbon, Portugal, and presently living in Berlin, Germany, Les
Baton Rouge takes its cue from classic UK punk, '80s New Wave and the DIY
feminism of the best of the first generation Riot Grrl bands. LBR restores
the danger and unpredictability of punk with a real message and real style.
Style you can't fake.
As one writer astutely pointed out: "Suspiria Franklyn's challenging
combination of talent, irresistible beauty and sensuality is exhilarating.
She's the Marlene Dietrich of Punk Rock." Along with bassist Peter Shamble
and drummer Rainer Baumgartner and the intriguing guitar playing of James
Jacket, Les Baton Rouge is a blast of screams, chaos and sensuality. It's
time for you to get in the loop. the music press has embraced the sound of
Les Baton Rouge and the reviews of my body - the pistol have been great!my

Some reviews:
Quintessential Church of Girl Sound!
Suspiria Franklyn penetrates all the empty spaces from the first note to the
last. Les Baton Rouge whirl together classic punk, 80's new-wave and riot
grrrl sensibilities on
"My Body-The Pistol". Produced with Tim Kerr, this is some of music's finest
living history. church of girl
Les Baton Rouge, New York 2003, or England Rough Trade circa 1979? this band
with Gal vocals is creating quite a buzz. Good post punk in a true sense a
la early Siouxsie or Slits or even Uxa. This may be lumped in as being Riot,
but this is cooler than that, very cool ... RL (Maximum Rock n' Roll)
Les Baton Rouge's lyrics place them in a wholly separate realm, and hearing
a band today that sounds just as good or better than the legendary '70s
post-punk eminences brings my heart to a delectable, naughty jolt. altar
magazine
"LES BATON ROUGE is fronted by Suspiria Franklyn who lulls you with the
appearance of politeness before twisting your head around. Feminist
inclinations, reflection, sexual innuendos, and fire engine red lips - it's
Suspiria's skill to strip bare the strategies of those who manipulate for
personal gain." Viriato
Front runners in the current wave of hip post-punk/No Waveish/neo Garage
this album is raw and raucous yet smart and sassy at the same time."
rocktober
"If you are a fan of Le Tigre, Bush Tetras, Stiff Little Fingers, you'll
come to love this band."
