The Courettes is “the real deal” (Vive Le Rock, UK), “the real sound of now busting through your
door (Rolling Stone, USA)! “the world’s greatest two person rock n’ roll ensemble”! (The Next Big
Thing, UK). and “Your new favourite band once you´ve heard them!” (Louder Than War, UK)
The Courettes is the explosive duo from Denmark and Brazil who is praised by the coolest music maga
zines around the world. In 2020 the band signed with legendary British label Damaged Goods Records,
putting them on the same roster as top international rock icons like Buzzcocks, Manic Street Preaches,
Atari Teenage Riot, New Bomb Turks, Amyl and the Sniffers, Billy Childish, Captain Sensible and many
others. Their first single by Damaged Goods “Want You! Like A Cigarette” was released in 2020 in the mid
dle of the Covid-19 pandemic and got airplay at BBC 6 Radio in England and spins at P6Beat and P4 in
Denmark, and the first pressing of the 7” vinyl was sold out in two weeks. “This extraordinary 45 marries
a super-charged pop top side to a charging, rampaging flip” wrote Kieron Tyler (Mojo, UK). A brand new
single, “Hop The Twig”, will be released in the 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 being mixed now in Japan by Wall of Sound afficionado Seiki
Sato and brings the band in top form, showing great songwriting skills, Spectoresque arrangements and
broader nuances, influences and sound qualities to their garage rock recipe. The tunes are 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!
The album will be released in the Fall 2021 by Damaged Goods Records, and the band has high hopes for
being able to be back on the road for promoting it. As everybody else, The Courettes can ́t wait for having
sweaty rock’n’roll shows again!
One of the most hard working bands on the European rock scene, The Courettes has the reputation of
delivering full-speed energetic performances “The Courettes full-bore attack would do any festival
proud” (Kieron Tyler - Mojo, UK) and has played in 15 countries around Europe and Brazil. In 2020, despite
the pandemic, the band kept the wheels turning and impressively made 25 concerts in Denmark, Germany,
France and Norway, showing their never ending lust, dedication and seriousness towards their career.
Flavia Couri (Vox, Guitar) and Martin Couri (Drums, Vox) have played at festivals like Eurosonic (Holland),
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) and also toured in Sweden, Finland, Austria, Italy, Portugal and Brazil and shared the stage
