L'Assassins was a Surf/Garage rock band from Minneapolis, Minnesota that formed in 2010 and has released 3 EPs, toured in Europe and played several festivals, including the "Girls Got Rhythm" festival and the "Memory Lanes Block Party". The band members have previously played with artists such as XOXO Judy, the Shortcuts, and Brittani Senser and have a "common love of bad ass rock'n'roll, big hair, and sassitude!"
The band formed in late 2010 and played their first show in April 2011. They originally performed without a name before eventually settling on the name L'Assassins, a name which they describe as being not grammatically correct in any language.
