Hailing from Curitiba, in Southern Brazil, Bonde Do Role - Marina, Pedro and Gorky, create funk carioca in a rockin' way. Their dance party electro punk is the sound of 2007, taking the Bailefunk rhythms of their homeland and mashing them up, rapping in their native tongues. Discovered by DJ/Producer Diplo in 2006, Bonde Do Role released their first domestic single "Melo do Tabaco" on Diplo's newly formed Mad Decent label. Bonde's March 2007 North American tour found them touring with Diplo once more, after taking the South by Southwest Festival in Austin by storm. Look out for dates with fellow Brazillians CSS in June and a full U.S. headline tour in September.
