Cartwright (Jay Reatard, Mary Weiss, Oblivions) to produce DO YOU WANT POWER. Recorded in their new hometown of Nashville, the album was completed in a marathon five-day session and finds the band putting song craft at the forefront without sacrificing their exquisitely satisfying sonic assault.

Insistent and irresistible, DO YOU WANT POWER sees THE ETTES charging into new territory with a revitalized, wall-of-sound collection of 13 tracks, including a co-write with Cartwright, that range from the ‘60s Girl Pop of “I Can Be Your Lover (But I Can’t Be Your Baby)” to the explosive “No Home.”

Coco even makes a musical nod to their adopted city of Nashvegas with a couple of country-tinged numbers. THE ETTES’ new tracks are the creative leap fans have been waiting for and perfectly capture the band’s diverse musical loves -- early punk anthems, ‘60s pop and country (think Patsy Cline and Nancy Sinatra embracing ‘70s NYC punk).

Catch THE ETTES on the move in Europe in May and June 2009, and in the US in August and September followed by festival dates abroad – tour dates to be announced soon!

Also listen for THE ETTES’ music in an upcoming episode of HBO’s Entourage as well as Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut, the rock n’ roller derby flick, Whip it! Out in October 2009.
