CSS

* First South American band signed to Sub Pop. Formed in 2003 in São Paulo, Brazil by a group of art-damaged, pop culture omnivores with an abiding thirst for good times.
* CSS’s debut full-length Cansei de Ser Sexy (“I got tired of being sexy” in Brazilian Portuguese) was released in 2006. Described by Uk newspaper The Guardian as “an unlikely, brilliantly wrong fusion of Tom Tom Club, dance culture and the Fall.”
* They’ve toured around the world a number of times, with the likes of Gwen Stefani, Ladytron, Klaxons, Diplo, played festivals from Coachella, Pitchfork to Reading, Roskilde, and Australias own V Festival in 2007!
* Vocalist Lovefoxx showed up at #3 on NME’s 2007 “Cool List” and, their song “Music is My Hot, Hot Sex” was used in a worldwide iPod Touch ad in late 2007, driving the song, nearly a year-and-a-half after its release, to become the highest charting single by a Brazilian band in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 chart!
* Produced in Brazil by the band’s own Adriano Cintra and mixed in Los Angeles by Mark “Spike” Stent (Madonna, Bjork, Massive Attack, U2, M.I.A., and Arcade Fire), Donkey is tough, street-ready, and recreates the frenetic energy of their live shows! And really, with CSS the live show is the thing. Equal parts dance party, urban circus, and out-and-out chaos, the band’s unaffected, unbridled joy in performance is for real and for you!
