Les Mentettes
Buenos Aires, Argentina (2005-Present)

Les Mentettes es una banda indie-folk de Argentina liderada por las voces de Adrian Rivoira y Eugenia Brusa. Lanzaron su primer album, Let’s Mentettes, en el 2008. El conductor musical Manuloop re-arreglo sus canciones para que puedan ser ejecutadas por una orquesta de mas de 30 musicos en el 2010 y grabaron su disco Les Mentettes Orchestra. En el 2011 la banda, ahora un hibrido entre banda y orquesta, lanzó su 3er album, Songs for an Imaginary Film. Actualmente trabajan en su 4to disco que pretenden editar en 2012.

Viniendo de diferentes estilos musicales la banda tiene un abanico de influencias que va desde Ziggy Stardust a Nina Simone y Brian Wilson. Adrian, Eugenia y la mayoría del grupo se conocieron en la escuela primaria cuando solo tenian 7 años de edad. De ninños compartieron unas cuantas bandas de covers que se presentaban en los conciertos del colegio. Era natural que terminen escribiendo canciones y formando  una banda propia. Una banda de amigos, como a ellos les gusta definirla.

Les Mentettes is an indie folk-rock band from Argentina led by singers Adrián Rivoira and Eugenia Brusa. They released their first full-length album, Let’s Mentettes, in 2008. Music conductor Manuloop rearranged their songs with an orchestra of over 30 musicians and in 2009 they recorded the album Les Mentettes Orchestra. In 2011 the band, now a hybrid of rock band and orchestra, released their third album, Song for an Imaginary Film. They are currently working on a 4th album to be released in june 2012 and producing a series of videos with different directors.

Coming from very different musical backgrounds, the band has a myriad of influences that range from Ziggy Stardust to Nina Simone and Brian Wilson. Adrián, Eugenia and most of the band members have known each other since they were 7 years-old as they went to school together. As kids, they had several cover bands and played at school concerts. It was only natural that they would eventually write songs together and form a band of their own. A band of friends, as they like to define it.
