Les Sexareenos

Emerging from the remnants of an earlier Montreal punk outfit, the group drew its name from a Ron Haydock teen pulp novel. Several EPs and singles appeared first, drawing notice for their explosive energy and captured live immediacy, before the band issued its debut album, Live! In the Bed, on Sympathy for the Record Industry. Road work followed, encompassing dates in Europe, Japan, and Australia. In 2001 the act released the EP Can You Do the Nose Mustache?, preceding the August arrival of its second album, 14 Frenzied Shakers, again on Sympathy. Multiple showcases in Canada and the United States have accompanied tours with the Deadly Snakes, the Von Bondies, and the Detroit Cobras, among others. Sympathy assembled many of the band’s seven-inch sides into the 2005 collection 28 Party Dancers from Montreal's Finest.
