Formed in 2003 in São Paulo, Brazil by a group of art-damaged, pop culture omnivores with an abiding thirst for good times, CSS were hailed as an “unlikely, brilliant wrong fusion of Tom Tom Club, dance culture and the Fall” following the release of their 2006 debut album ‘Cansei de Ser Sexy’–‘I got tired of being sexy’ in Brazilian Portuguese.

In the time since ‘Cansei de Ser Sexy’ came out, CSS has been very busy.

They’ve toured around the world a number of times, with the likes of Gwen Stefani, Ladytron, Klaxons, Diplo, played festivals from Coachella, Pitchfork and Virgin, to Reading, Benicassim, Roskilde, and beyond.

Vocalist Lovefoxx showed up at number three 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, helping it 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 (whose credits include Madonna, Bjork, Massive Attack, U2, M.I.A., and Arcade Fire), new album ‘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 bands unaffected, unbridled joy in performance is for real and for you.

Prepare to buckaroo once again with the sexiest band on the planet.
