About this item

‘Shave The Pride’ comes from Mexican trio Le Butcherettes’ third album ‘A Raw Youth’.

The track, which according to the band’s Teri Gender Bender was originally titled ‘Pogonophobia’ (the fear of beards), is a commentary on societal apathy: “The outrage and frustration are this time directed in particular to society’s ‘beard’,” explains Gender Bender. “The beard symbolizes our unwillingness to view all perceptions of the story, empathy, angles, life… hiding behind the mass… mass media, laziness, etc.”

Side B is an unreleased track featuring King Buzzo from the Melvins on guitar and vocals.

What they’re saying about Teri Gender Bender:

“Most volatile woman in rock” - LA Weekly

“Breakout star” - Chicago Tribune

“She’s a star. It’s like a great character in a movie. You want to know what happens when the movie is over. You want to know the rest of the story.” - Henry Rollins

Le Butcherettes have toured with such acts as Faith No More, Melvins and Antemasque.

Red vinyl 7” produced by Omar Rodriguez Lopez (At The Drive In, Mars Volta, Antemasque).
