Teri Gender Bender’s performances with her project Le Butcherettes are so powerful they leave you speechless, in wonder.
Teri lets go of everything. Todo. If there were any restrictions, apprehensions, or insecurities, they disappear when the spirit of music and words come together through her.
She is mystical, intense, explosive.
I’ve always found a kinship with her. We share similar experiences. I don’t know her like that, we’ve only crossed paths for music journalism-related matters, but I do know that she’s as authentic as anyone I’ve ever met. She is always a pleasure.
Here are some of my favorite tracks by Le Butcherettes. Below that, read a conversation with Teri for contratiempo magazine as well as an audio piece produced for broadcast on Lumpen Radio.
