INFOTAINMENT
Lesbians on Ecstasy aka Lezzies On X are a plunder music project based in Montreal, Canada. They take inspiration from the lesbian back catalogue by referencing folk artists and punk bands alike, re-writing lesbian history for the dance floor.
They use the source material in a musical collage that re-creates a wide spectrum of musical styles – all within the dance genre. One of their obsessions has been to develop their own way of playing live dance music, using an electronic drum kit, bass guitar and an array of synths.
The newer recordings are focused on womyn’s music from the 70s, in both content and style. They are using this as an opportunity to explore the idealism and optimism present in early feminist theory and music and examine the ways in which these themes have disintegrated today.
