No. 87: The Ettes

The Ettes are based out of Nashville and have been playing since 2004. They have opened for great bands like The Black Keys and The Dead Weather and have a garage rock sound with plenty of distortion.  In my honest opinion they sound exactly like another band out there with a female lead singer, The Kills.  I don't think I could tell the difference if you played their songs back to back.  I guess The Ettes are a little more punk.  The songs on their records seem to be short and so do their albums as a whole.  The beats will get you movin' and are reminiscent to 60's punk with strong, simple drums throughout.  If you want to see some simple rock and roll that won't disappoint The Ettes are a good bet.
