**Press Release**

They dance. They laugh. They brawl like sister and brothers. They make songs about partying, fucking, going to the beach, partying and fucking on the beach, secret agents and queuing at the post office, all wrapped up in an unintelligible but perfectly logical barrage of Portuguese gay slang which even most Brazilians don't understand. They are the party-funk-fueled sound track to a John Waters-directed account of Kenneth Williams dancing on the tables down at the Korova Milk Bar. They are Pedro, Marina and Gorky and they have come for your daughters, sons, moms, dads, girlfriends and boyfriends. They are not picky.

Since forming two years ago and signing to Diplo's Mad Decent label in 2006 - with the Diplo Presents Bonde Do Role EP making some big waves and little earthquakes among Very Cool People - they've teamed up with Domino Records for ...With Lasers, a debut album which bangs through 13 songs in half an hour. It is not exactly an album that beats around the bush. Nor do the band's members pull their punches. "Bonde Do Role is the ultimate, stupid party," Marina announces, defiantly. "It's not music which is there to make you want to break something."

Causing a rumpus across Europe with a series of high-profile support and headline slots, and dropping ...With Lasers just in time for the summer party season, Bonde Do Role will be hard to ignore over the next twelve months, during which time they're relocating from Rio to Berlin. "It's cheaper to live in Berlin," Pedro says. "Plus the people go crazy and get naked."

**Press Reviews**

Pitchforkmedia  "Bonde's jones for baile funk, the popular fusion of hip-house, Miami bass, and Latin beats that rose to international prominence in recent years, thanks in part to championing from a number of acclaimed DJs, sets them apart."
