The Lezzies On X are a plunder music project, taking inspiration from the lesbian back catalogue by referencing folk artists and punk bands alike, re-writing lesbian history for the dance floor. This Canadian band uses the source material in a musical collage that re-creates a wide spectrum of musical styles - all within the dance genre. One of their obsessions has been to develop their own way of playing live dance music, using an electronic drum kit, bass guitar and an array of synths. The insistence on such a strong technological presence in their music serves to highlight the absence of technology in the majority of lesbian music, which privileges acoustic sound as authentic lesbian expression. Their 2007 release maintains the same concept, but goes deeper into the lesbian vaults. The new recordings are focused on womyn's music from the 70s, in both content and style. They are using this as an opportunity to explore the idealism and optimism present in early feminist theory and music and examine the ways in which these themes have disintegrated today.

The song Sisters in the Struggle reached #1 on the CBC Radio 3 chart show R3-30 for the week of June 28, 2007.
