The Courettes Are Back!
Tuesday, August 13th, 2024 by The Professor
All the way from Denmark (ok, last night from Richmond) it’s The Courettes! Flavia & Martin (and Peter) came by the station ahead of their show tonight at the Metro Baltimore (Metro Gallery). They’re back for a short US tour and hitting the East coast. We chatted about their new album The Soul of The Fabulous Courettes, coming out September 27th, but already in our excited little hands… Hear how they were able to get La La Brooks (of The Crystals) to guest on 2 songs (both out as a cool 45 right now) and others they want to work with. A bit about graphic design, a cool arts program in Denmark and the plans their 8yr old is secretly working to move them to Hawaii. Check them out!
