The band formed in Sao Paulo in 2003 from a group of cross-connected art-scene socialites who eventually solidified a lineup consisting of vocalist Luisa Hanae Matsushita (who goes by the stage name Lovefoxxx), bassist Iracema Trevisan, guitarist Ana Rezende, and multi-instrumentalists Luiza Sa, Carolina Parra and Adriano Cintra. Under the keen musical direction of Cintra, a vet of Brazil's underground rock scene, C.S.S. found international attention for their high volume of downloads from Brazil's TramaVirtual, a music and social networking site. They self-released two EPs in 2004, <i>Em Rotterdam Ja e uma Febre</i> and <i>A Onda Mortal/Uma Tarde com PJ</i>, and issued their self-titled full-length LP on TramaVirtual's fledgling music label in 2005. It was re-released internationally on Sub Pop a year later, followed by wide international touring. - Nate CavalieriElectropopen720Mon, 23 Nov 2009 08:53:31 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.10773261&rws=%2Fcss%2Fmusic-videos.rss Though known in the U.S. mostly by their abbreviated handle, the proper name of Brazilian dance-rock sextet C.S.S. is Cansei de Ser Sexy, a Portuguese translation of a quip from Beyonce Knowles, who allegedly once claimed to be "tired of being sexy."
