Machetes formed as if by fate, fueled by the common craving for excitement and creativity. A whirlwind of coincidences drew each member together, dragging them from their respective spaces in the wide music landscape of Toronto. The beginnings proved to be quite proliferating, as the girls’ unique and diverse musical backgrounds clashed and converged, creating a mosaic of sound and imagery that injects passion and drive back into the limp, sterile body of rock and roll.

The integrity and glamour of Machetes comes out in both the music and their show- it’s the love child conceived by a massive orgy of music that includes Siouxsie Sioux, Love and Rockets, Iggy Pop and Black Sabbath- and that’s just for starters. Influences range from art-rock to brit-pop, punk/post-punk to glam, each member contributing equally to the overall look and sound. Playing weekly to overcrowded underground clubs and attracting a diverse crowd of dedicated followers, their shows are a delicate blend of mayhem, beauty and aggression driven by powerfully delivered songs. 

To date, Machetes have shared bills with Woodhands (sold out, debut show at the Wrongbar, Toronto), Born Ruffians, dd/mm/yyyy and Semi-Precious Weapons, while releasing their first E.P, 'Too Dirty To Be a Rat", on Jan. 7. 2009, produced and recorded by Rob Sanzo (Signal to Noise Studios, Lioness, Controller.Controller, and more...)

Machetes are managed by Roger O'Donnell (the Cure, more..) -- Ten 55 Artist Management --- http://www.99songsoutof10.com/tenfiftyfive.html .
Their first E.P, Too Dirty to be a Rat, is planned for official release Jan. 7. 2009, produced and recorded by Rob Sanzo (Signal-to-Noise Studios).
