30-Minute Music Hour

Les Breastfeeders

Proving that Americans do not have the market cornered on guitar distortion, Montreal’s most ferocious garage band will bring the Badger State to its knees. You don’t have to understand the all-French lyrics of Les Breastfeeders’ songs to appreciate the band’s colossal grip on rock’s fury. Here’s how the Village Voice put it: "dueling fille and garcon vocalists Suzie McLelove and Luc Brien careen around the stage like a demolition derby-version of Sonny and Cher, leaving a trail of heartbreak and hip shake in their wake." The band’s colorful, irreverent videos are among the most popular in Canada.
