Originating from São Paulo, Brazil members include Lovefoxxx, Luiza Sá, Ana Rezende, and Carolina Parra. Past members include Maria Helena, Zerba Iracema Trevisan, Clara Ribeiro, and Adriano Cintra. J.R. Kurtz has been the band's touring drummer since 2010 with the addition of Nate Perry as touring bassist beginning in late 2011. Bassist Inge Johansson has also toured with the band. Think Carnivale and club had a baby and you will get CSS.
I've loved them for years, but I'm especially enjoying their newest album, La Liberacion. CSS recorded tracks for their third studio album, La Liberación, while touring. They reportedly recorded a song in Spanish titled "¡Ay, Qué Horror!" According to lead singer Lovefoxxx in an interview with MTV Brazil, the first single of the new album will be released in May. The album, also according to her, will hit store shelves August 2012, with 11 tracks. The title will also be in Spanish.
In a recent interview with Folha de S. Paulo, Adriano Cintra said that the band's third album "is not a themed album. It has influences from clubs, reggae and punk." Ana Rezende, however, said that "we sometimes do a reggae that nobody thinks it's actually reggae. But in our head is very reggae."
On November 11th 2011, Adriano Cintra announced that he left CSS and declared that he did not authorize any of the band members to use his songs in any of their forthcoming concerts. He also stated that the reason behind his departure was due to attitude problems from other band members, claiming that they let fame go to their heads.
Basically this band makes you wanna put on your baddest outfit and go raise sexy chaos with your best friend. Their name was taken from a reported quote by Beyoncé, who allegedly declared that she was "tired of being sexy." I know you will enjoy three of my favorites by this band: "Music is my hot hot sex," "Move," and "City Grrrl."
See you next Monday with a new music obsession!
