((CSS)) Band Profile and Upcoming New York City Concerts - Oh My Rockness
CSS represents Sub Pop's first South American signing. These girls and boys from Brazil rock the sexy synths. Actually their name is short for "Cansei De Ser Sexy" which translates to "I'm tired of being sexy." Somewhere, Right Said Fred is demanding royalties.
How do describe CSS... think Peaches on her best behavior accompanied by that song "Do the Hustle," and you're close to experiencing what they're all about. The title of one of their songs, "Let's Make Love and Listen to Death from Above" pretty much says it all. But are they talking about the DFA or Death From Above 1979? Either way, someone's getting their ass sued. In the meantime, if YOU are tired of being sexy, you'll probably enjoy CSS. Me? I'm just tired of writing the word "synth."
