The Lesbians On Ecstasy are a live dance outfit from Montreal, Quebec. Playing a mixture of hardcore
breakbeat and house inspired party music, they are known for their shows featuring live drums (sometimes electronic drum pads, sometimes an acoustic kit), a bass player, samples, sequences and a mad dancing front woman.
Lesbians on Ecstasy hijack the back catalogue of popular lesbian anthems, dragging them kicking and screaming out of the folk festivals and onto the drugged-up revelry of the dance floor. They pillage shamelessly from the likes of Tracy Chapman and Melissa Etheridge, juxtaposing them against Tribe8, Team Dresch, Indigo Girls and other lesbian classics. Lesbians on Ecstasy don’t sample these artists, but cheekily reference their themes and lyrics, creating booty shaking dance hits that maintain a politically infused edge.
They make for a formidable live unit and have quickly built up a reputation as a party band that delivers the goods.
Lesbians on Ecstasy have performed alongside Le Tigre, Chinese Stars, King Cobra, label mates Les Georges Leningrad, Tracy and the Plastics, Kids on T.V. and others.
