Baile Punk New Wave Booty Mash Up Triple Bill Extravaganza!!!

FRIDAY, AUG. 4 @ CELEBRITIES

Lead by American baile funk ambassador, Diplo, FRIDAY, AUGUST 4th at Celebrities, has the triple threat of Diplo, Bonde do Role and CSS (Cansei der Ser Sexy) mashing the house down like no one's biznass.

DIPLO has been known for many things in the music underground in the last little while including being one half of the mash-up super-duo known as Hollertronix, who threw everything from hip hop, dancehall, rock, electro, miami bass, reggaeton, crunk, 80s, new wave and whatever else you can think of into one mix (not unlike our own Vinyl Ritchie), edited up a little mix-tape called Piracy Funds Terrorism, the ditty that introduced M.I.A. to the world, produced the M.I.A. track Bucky Done Gun, released a series of baile funk compilations called Favela on Blast, which helped introduce the rowdy Brazilian form of Miami Bass to the western world and has been touring the world unleashing his dirty mixes unto clubs heads worldwide (he also found the time to hookup with Ms. Maya Arulpragasam aswell).

One of Rolling Stone's 10 Artists to Watch this year, BONDE DO ROLE, who hail from the southern Brazilian town of Curitiba (home of Pride Fighting Championships middle-weight champion, Vanderlei Silva) and has made a bastard out of a bastard. Where baile funk/funk carioca is a ghetto Rio de Janeiro off-shoot of Miami Bass, this threesome have injected some dirty cock rock into the already unruly Brazilian booty style. Check out their Vitiligo video here.

CSS aka Canser dei Ser Sexy which translates to 'Tired of Being Sexy' are 6 rockin chicks plus a drummin dude from Sao Paulo (the town probably with the biggest Japanese diaspora in the world - one of the singers, Lovefoxx, is a halfer!). Where Bonde do Role follow the baile punk mantra of ridiculous Brazilian party raps and hollas over booty beats, CSS are more along the lines of new wave synthy rock but still carry the same all good, dirty down vibe with song titles like "Meeting Paris Hilton," "Art Bitch," "Music is my Hot Hot Sex," and my personal fav "Let's Make Love and Listen to Death From Above" (did I mention that one of their singers is a half-japanese brazilian named Lovefoxx?).
