Get ready to meet the new electro pop rockers of Brazil – Copacabana Club. They are on a mission to bring their self confessed ' Indie-Rock-Party-Carnival' sound to Europe and beyond, and we better be ready for them!
If they were a cocktail they would taste like the Ting Tings mixed with CSS, with an added sprinkling of New Yong Pony Club and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. You could probably top it off with a big dollop of The Gossip too. The resulting pop cocktail is sharper, sweeter and more refreshing than a Caipirinha, and Copacabana Club are just as intoxicating.
Copacabana Club is made up of 2 guys and 2 girls from Curitiba, Brazil, featuring beautiful, super cool and bouncy lead singer Caca V. The acoustic section is made up of Claudia Bukowski on drums (always good to see a female syncopator in charge of the beats) plus Andre Franca and Carlos Junior on guitar duty. The songs are cheeky, sexy and direct, all laid over a backdrop of quick kicking beats and immense guitar riffs, making this a band that you definitely want to see live.
Already well known with a huge following in Brazil, the band originally broke into the limelight with their sultry Latin infused track 'Just Do It' which was picked up and catapulted into the media by Levi's (known for their keen eye for the coolest of the cool) who quickly made a promo video with them. Before that they were already picking up reviews in Folha de S. Paulo, Brazil's biggest newspaper as well as amassing a strong international online presence with their MTV blog, and winning 'Best New Artist' at the 2009 Video Music Brazil awards.
They are now releasing their debut album 'Tropical Splash' following their celebrated EP 'King of the Night' originally released in 2008. Now "Tropical Splash" brings together their big singles with brilliant new work to showcase their varied Brazilian indie pop sound for 2012.
From the fast paced opener of Mrs Melody, instantly hooking you in, to the soothing verse and melody in 'Comeback', this album has many varied moods and moments. Check out the big synth lines of 'Pas Toujours' or the flirtatious 'Sex Sex Sex'. The album has an exotic feel to it, with enough Brazilian flavour and lyrical attitude to make it stand out from the crowd.
Copacabana Club are a band that will surely make a big impression this side of the Atlantic, with their upcoming UK tour dates you will be able to experience a little snapshot of the pop culture flavour of Brazil for yourself.
