THE ETTES
As fetching as they are ferocious, L.A.’s Ettes can’t help it: power garage is part of their DNA. Think Sonics/Yardbirds, New York Dolls/Runaways – or a distaff Reigning Sound. Formed in ’04 by singer/guitarist Lindsay “Coco” Hames, the trio offered up a remarkable personal article of faith by self-financing a trip to England’s Toe Rag Studios to record with White Stripes/Billy Childish cohort Liam Watson before they even had a record deal. The sonic and emotional yield, dare we say it, is primal, from the locomotive pileup of “It Ain’t You” and the swaggering Nancy Sinatra-on-fuzz of “Alley Cat” to the towering Phil Spector wall o’ sound that’s “Beggars” and an actual Reigning Sound cover, the churning “We Repel Each Other.” Robin Pecknold and Skyler Skjelset both attended Lake Washington High School in Kirkland, a suburb of Seattle, and soon became close friends. The confident character of Pecknold stood in contrast with Skjelset's shy demeanor but the two bonded over a mutual appreciation of Bob Dylan and Neil Young and began making music together Song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRfBqoGVFXc
