Bonde do Role @ Spiegel Tent/Fader Release 10 July 2007


Last Tuesday I finally one of my goals of this summer/spring/as soon as I could get chance. I managed to make it too Fader Magazine's release party at Spiegeltent to see Brazilian hotties Bonde do Role. Now as you know I have become quite fond of Bonde's album and all the stories I've heard about the insane dance parties/shows have made me yearn to see them live, but I missed them because of various reasons. When thisopportunity arised, I did not hesitate to take advantage.

Spiegeltent/world is a glitzy European famed mirrored tent that is set up on pier 17 at South Street Seaport. It is host to many parties and events this summer, but that night the crowd just wasn't feeling it. Maybe it was the high priced alcoholic beverages, or the fact that the free drinks were gone beforeBonde even went on the stage, but I felt sort of cheated of an amzazing experience leaving the show.

I snagged some photos of the group though..which makes it look like everyone was dancing and having a blast...

Death To Your Speakers. DEATH TO YOUR SPEAKERS!!

Every summer I latch onto a few bands/albums that will forever be remembered as “That summer song/band/album” You know the type…You’ll play it out until all of your friends hate the song, but you’ll continue to love it. Then years down the road (you probably won’t even own the album anymore) you hear it on the radio or see it on VH1 Classics…and you will recall that summer. The heat, the broken AC unit, Mr. Tasty rolling down the street playing that shit happy music… Bonde do Role is at the forefront of that list with its Domino Records Debut “With Lasers”.

Baile funk rhythms, 80’s metal guitars, Portuguese vocals…What more could you ask for?

With Lasers is the perfect summer rooftop dance party album from beginning to end. Their first single Solta o Frango (which translates into something like release the chickens) is a good indicator as to what to expect from the rest of the album. The current single Office Boy, which you can stream from Domino’s Website, is produced by Brazilian mastermind DJ Chernobyl and is by far one of the best arranged songs on the album. From its classic 70’s rock riff to the indie funk bass line, and those baile beats that pretty much define the entire album.

For all of you who have been waiting for Bonde’s return to the states…you may remember reading about the band canceling their summer US tour with CSS. Well the bad news is that they still won’t be around this summer…the good news though is that they will return in September for a coast-to-coast tour that is sure appease everyone.

Bonde do Role

If there was one band I wish I could see right now, Brazil’s Bonde do Role would be on the top of my list. My roommate saw them 4 times in Austin, and gave me one of his times so I wouldn’t sulk over not being able to make it to tomorrow nights show @ Studio B.

This baile funk trio is making a name for its self with their world infused dance beats and insane live shows.

Recently signing to Domino Records, Bonde do Role’s album With Lasers was release this past Tuesday. They are finishing up a small tour post sxsw US tour with the UK’s The Klaxons, and then to Europe for a month. Then they will go on tour with another hot Brazilian item, Cansei De Ser Sexy this summer. I plan to check them out at least once, I recommend you do the same.
