The explosive Wall of Sound-group have conquered audiences all over the world.
- The Courettes is “the real deal” (Vive Le Rock, UK)
- “the real sound of now busting through your door (Rolling Stone, USA)
- “the world’s greatest two person rock n’ roll ensemble”! (The Next Big Thing, UK) and
- “Your new favourite band once you ́ve heard them!” (Louder Than War, UK)
The Courettes. “A force to be reckoned with. Matching the garage rock ferocity of The Sonics to prime early 60s girl group, the band’s output is utterly feral in the most addictive possible way. Reminiscent of The Ronettes given a Ramones style overhaul, their evil charms arrive covered in blood-soaked glamour. Twanging guitar and raucous percussion, a wild head-long charge into the unknown.” (The Clash Magazine, UK)
The Courettes is an explosive rock duo from Denmark and Brazil who found the perfect blend between garage rock, 60s Girl Group, Wall of Sound, r&b, surf music and doo wop. Like The Ronettes meet The Ramones at a wild party at Gold Star Studios echo chamber. Praised by the biggest music magazines around the world, in 2020 the band signed with legendary British label Damaged Goods, putting them on the same roster as top international rock icons like Buzz- cocks, Manic Street Preaches, Atari Teenage Riot, New Bomb Turks, Amyl and the Sniffers, Billy Childish, Captain Sen- sible and many others.
Their third album, “Back in Mono” was released in the Fall 2021 and is a truly milestone in the career. The album brings the band in top form, showing great songwriting skills and with broader nuances, influences and sound qualities to their garage rock recipe. Singles, “Want You! Like a Cigarette”, “Hop The Twig” and “R.I.N.G.O.” all got airplay at BBC 6 Radio in England and radio stations in Europe and the USA. “Back in Mono” got top reviews in the main music magazines like Mojo, Classic Rock and Shindig and was featured in countless Best Albums of 2021.
2024 started with the release of their new single “Shake!”, Killer fuzz riffs, motown beats, hints of soul and bits of young Tina Turner’s vibes are all in there, an apetizer showcasing a bit of the recipe of The Courettes’ new album “The Soul of the Fabulous The Courettes” due to be out in September on Damaged Goods Records. “Shake!” already got brilliant reviews in the main UK and Europe media and airplay at BBC6 Radio:
“Ultra-catchy, a wicked slice of garage soul!” (Clash Magazine, UK)
“A classic hip shaking” (Vive Le Rock, UK)
“One of their catchiest pieces yet. Sassy, groovy, toe-tapping, tambourine-shaking party track”. (Classic Rock,
UK – Tracks of the Week)
“Lively and bouncy” (Rolling Stone France – Playlist de la Semaine)
“Catchiness merged with strong classic R&B-ish groove stomp” (Vinyl District, UK)
“Smells like a hit from miles away” (Monster on your back, France)
With more than 136 concerts booked already in 2024, in Europe, UK and USA, the year started with a blast of a succesful tour in France with 4 out of 5 sold out shows at Le Nuits de l ́Alligator Festival. One of the most hard-working bands on the European rock’n’roll scene, The Courettes has the reputation of delivering full-speed energetic performances (“The Courettes full-bore attack would do any festival proud” Kieron Tyler, MOJO, UK) and has played in 20 countries around Europe, Brazil, USA and Japan.
Book a table for pre-concert dining
Acapela Studio provides pre-concert dining between 6.00pm and 7.30pm from our pizza oven. To view the current menu visit here.
Please purchase your concert tickets first before booking a table. We will not accept any table bookings that do not have a corresponding ticket purchase.
Then return to the event page to book your table, by selecting the date of your event, number of diners and time you require table. The times shown are the only vacancies left. Please complete your email and phone number as this is required to ensure your table is allocated. You will receive confirmation of your booking by email and text.
If on the date you have chosen no tables are available - no times will be shown and the booking system will revert you back to todays date - PLEASE ENSURE YOU BOOK THE CORRECT DATE!
PLEASE NOTE THE VENUE RELIES ON THE INCOME FROM DINING TO ENSURE WE CAN BOOK ALL THE GREAT ACTS PERFORMING.
Income from the provision of pizzas is very important to the venue and if you have booked a table it is a requirement that all people sat at tables order food - a salad alternative is available to pizzas. Please do ensure that all individuals will be ordering on your table - if this is not the case please cancel your table so others who are looking to dine can do so. Our apologies to raise this but recently we have had many tables (some very large) where less than 50% of those sat at tables have ordered food. Financially this is a real problem to the sustainability of the venue.
- All seating at tables must purchase a pizza - so please do not book a table if everyone is not eating.
- Please ensure that you arrive 10 minutes before the time slot allocated to order your pizzas prior to your booking time.
- Tables not seated within 15 minutes of the allocated time may be lost and allocated to other audience members wishing to order pizzas.
- If you wish to book a table for 6 or more please email info@acapela.co.uk
Please note that all of our pizzas are made fresh to order and cooked in an authentic wood-fired oven. It may take up to 45 minutes to be served during busy periods.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO BOOK A TABLE YOU CAN STILL ORDER PIZZAS ON THE NIGHT (USUALLY ON BUSY NIGHTS NO LATER THAN 7.15PM) AND WE WILL SERVE THEM TO YOU WHEREVER YOU ARE SAT IN THE VENUE - IN A PIZZA BOX.
