Editorial Reviews

"An impressive maelstrom of dark distorted techno, glitchy pop, and electropunk that subverts and perverts a slew of dyke classics." -- SAN FRANCISCO BAY GUARDIAN

Following two years of touring and general party-starting, Lesbians on Ecstasy's much-anticipated sophomore release is set to drop in early spring 2007. They're back and surfing the giant third wave of wimmin's lib, but amongst the optimistic slogans and hopes for a liberated future, corporate interests and inequality reign, turning feminist dreams to stone and casting dark clouds over the land. L.OE. has retaliated with a collection of songs that hearken back to activist hope--seems like wishful thinking in this day and age.

We Know You Know touches on similar themes as the band's debut, but delves deeper into some of the clichés and tropes of iconic lesbian music. This time around, the band blends more melodic elements with hooks that might remind the listener of campfire sing-a-longs at some mythical womyn's event in the `70s--several tracks even feature a chorus. However, they have also managed to maintain the heavy beat aspect of their debut. The result is a danceable album that is both uplifting and very dark, but with the sense of humor and fun that make Lesbians On Ecstasy unique.

For this upcoming year, the Lezzies plan to keep the love going. The group will perform a rock opera at Montreal's International Contemporary Art Biennale in May in addition to appearances at SXSW and the WMC in Miami.
