This month, Voilà! is covering foreign bands!
Uma semana, uma banda. Você sabe a rotina.
This week, the featured artist is Lucy and the Popsonics.


It may be a little late in the week, but Voilà! is still here. And Voilà! is still continuing with our month-long theme of foreign bands to be featured!

This week, we take a trip to the tropical lands of the Amazon, Brazil. In this giant of a country resides the duo Lucy and the Popsonics. Sounding something like Holy Fuck gone wrong, with less members and a louder drum machine, Lucy and the Popsonics belt out their wild Portuguese lyrics and fast paced, speaker-breaking music to keep your body moving.


Lucy and the Popsonics currently have their debut album with the quirky title, A fabula (ou a farsa?) de dois electropandas, for international sale. Of course they have a Myspace, but they also have Fotolog, Flickr, Youtube, and so much more. But you can find that out all on their Myspace, as well as savouring in the opportunity to download my personal favourite song of Lucy and the Popsonics, "Coracao empacotado," for free! Have fun, and a good (end of the) week.
