L'Assassins was a Surf/Garage rock band from Minneapolis, Minnesota that formed in 2010 and has released 3 EPs, toured in Europe[1] and played several festivals, including the "Girls Got Rhythm" festival and the "Memory Lanes Block Party".[4][5] The band members have previously played with artists such as XOXO Judy, the Shortcuts, and Brittani Senser[4] and have a "common love of bad ass rock'n'roll, big hair, and sassitude!"[6]

History

The band formed in late 2010 and played their first show in April 2011. They originally performed without a name before eventually settling on the name L'Assassins, a name which they describe as being not grammatically correct in any language.[4]

Lead singer Tea Simpson is a fan of rockabilly, punk rock and outlaw country, she is also influenced by old B movies such as Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! and Vixen!.[1][7] The band is influenced by artists such as The Cramps, Thee Headcoatees and The Sonics.[8][9]

The band was last active in 2015. In 2016, Ariel Dornbush and Monet Wong started a new band, with Madalyn Mae on drums, called The Toxenes.[10]

Reception

  • "a quartet of buxom women with a mean look about them and an even meaner, vintage rockabilly sound." (Chris Riemenschneider, Star Tribune)[11]
  • "Taking cues from Suzi Quatro, Dum Dum Girls and Joan Jett, L'Assassins have created a series of propulsive songs that exude confidence." (Jon Schober, Andrea Swensson, 89.3 The Current)[12]
  • "The four women from Minneapolis featured a throwback vibe in sound and dress. Chugging, rockabilly rhythms, colorful tattoos, sharp guitar, and flowers in hair proved a perfect match for the club. Singer Tee Ann Simpson connected with the crowd with her irrepressible energy." (Dave Miller, Chicago Concert Goers)[13]
  • "this foursome brings an edgy style and even edgier sound to our music scene." (DeDe Ruger, MN Ups Magazine>[14]
