Oh yeah. The new Bonde do Rolê’s vocalist will be announced this week. On saturday, they are performing at Clube Gloria (Minas Gerais, 830 – Bela Vista, São Paulo), which used to be a church and a theater, Teatro Bixiga, now is considered a great alternative nightclub.
I’m curious about this secret girl, by the way. I’ve seen some of these strange girls who were trying to travel, sing and dance for free (he-he) and I can give them just one adjective: bizarre.
Where’s Marina Gasolina?
I asked her last week about her future and everything and she told me she is going to London this week to start recording. I can’t wait to see her live in this solo project.
I’m really not into Brazilian funk, I swear! But I do like the way Bonde do Rolê makes fun of it. Even with rude lyrics (which I think I should translate for English some time), IMO they are much nicer than CSS (don’t kill me, new ravers).
Apart from that, the most exciting fact for me, a Brazilian girl, is that 14 bands from my country are attending South by Southwest (SXSW) 2008 in Austin, Texas. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome:
- Pierre Aderne (Rio de Janeiro)
- Alexia Bomtempo (Rio de Janeiro)
- Curumin (São Paulo)
- Debate (São Paulo)
- Fruet & Os Cozinheiros (Porto Alegre)
- Tita Lima (São Paulo)
- Lucy and The Popsonics (Brasília)
- Marcelo D2 (Rio de Janeiro)
- MQN (Goiânia)
- Nancy (Brasília)
- O Quarto das Cinzas (Fortaleza)
- Pata de Elefante (Porto Alegre)
- Telerama (Fortaleza)
- Vamoz (Recife)
I’ve seen Lucy and The Popsonics at Planeta Terra Festival in November last year. Their album is nice, but they are much better live. Recommended!
