Bonde Do Role Change Their Lineup

After the departing of founding member Marina Ribatski in late 2007, the band have added not one but TWO new members to the group.

Holding auditions a la the Pussycat Dolls or TLC, the band decided to take the "we found you on TV" route and hold a contest through MTV Brasil. Emerging with Laura Taylor and Ana Bernardino that band will now continue on as a 4 piece.

It will be interesting to see if these two girls can actually take Marina's place...she was the life of the party whenever she was on stage.

iheartSXSW

The time is upon us....

The 2 costal broads shall meet in the mecca in the middle of Texas (is it in the middle? Irrelevant), that is SXSW. So, if you see a smokin' rehead and a bombshell brunette talking in fake English accents, stumbling down 6th street, that's probably us. SOme come say 'ello.

I digress. The real point of this post is to give you all who are going to Austin the inside track to the party line. Because, what is SXSW if not a non-stop party? So, here are some party highlights for you all...

iheartcomix is the home to bands like Matt & Kim and Protokoll, who rule, but they're now branching out in their musical pallate. Last year they had ana AMAZING SXSW party @ Beauty Bar, which I missed because I was working, but several people got drunk and thrown out which means it was a winner. This year, they have amped up the parties to THREE this year, and they're ridiculous. This year there's more of a DJ/dance spin on things with heavy-hitters (hoppers?) Diplo, Kid Sister, A-Trak, Bonde Do Role as the main attractions.

RSVP for each party to the address on the flyers below:







OOF. THA. HOOK.

See you there, kiddies...

Bonde do Role - Brazil = The New Brooklyn

Bonde do Role is getting a lot of love from not only Diplo and CSS; but now from bloggers, Domino (their label) and the rest of the pseudo cool kids that don't even know what freestyle music is...

Anyway, who cares...they are absolutely awesome!

Listen for yourself here:
