The trio is set to release their second album, Tropical Bacanal, in Summer 2012. \nBonde do Rolê started in Curitiba in the south of Brazil, mixing riffs (ranging from the Scorpions' \"Rock You Like a Hurricane\" to Alice in Chains' \"Man in the Box\") with Funk Carioca (also known as Baile Funk or Brazilian Funk). The trio did its first major tour in 2006, with CSS (Cansei de Ser Sexy) and in 2007 released their debut album, With Lasers. \n Beginnings\nProducer Diplo first found out about the band through their MySpace account and pushed them using his label, Mad Decent. Prior to Diplo, the band was signed to Domino in 2006. \"We just started making music out of fun--we didn't have any intentions to work professionally with music,\" said Rodrigo Gorky. In March 2006, Rolling Stone magazine picked the band as one of the \"10 Bands to Watch\", where they were described as \"Brazilian party starters.\" The following month The New York Times praised the band's work as well. \n With Lasers\nIn mid 2007, through Domino Records Bonde do Rolê released their debut album With Lasers. Tracks from the debut album have been used in various media, the single, \"Solta o Frango\" (Brazilian slang meaning: enjoy and go crazy) was used widely: it was used in a worldwide campaign for the cellphone company Nokia, in a commercial for the hit series Ugly Betty in the UK, it was featured on the soundtrack of Electronic Arts game FIFA 2008 and in the film The Ruins released in 2008. GQ magazine used their song \"Office Boy\" for the behind-the-scenes photo shoot of actress Jessica Alba by photographer Terry Richardson. \nTheir song \"Gasolina\" was featured on an Australian advertisement for Bonds underwear. The lyrics used in the commercial caused some offense to Portuguese speakers in Australia, causing the advertisement to be recut with an instrumental version of the song even though \"Gasolina\" got picked by Domino Records as the single because it did not have bad language. \nIn December 2007, Bonde do Rolê cancelled gigs in Dublin, Ireland, the UK and their Australian tour amidst speculation that the band was experiencing internal difficulties and were on the verge of a lineup change.  On December 12, Gorky and Pedro announced on a MySpace bulletin that Marina had left the band. In February 2008, the two remaining members of the band, in search of a new singer, launched a contest in association with MTV Brazil. The band now consists of Gorky, Pedro and Laura Taylor. \nIn 2008, the band toured making up for all the cancelled dates in the past, including the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival 2008, We Love Sounds Festival in Australia and others. Also, in 2008 the band was a nominee for the Band of the Year and Song of the Year categories at the Brazilian MTV Video Music Awards, and performed a medley live at the show. \n 2011 - Present: Tropical/Bacanal\nIn their second studio album, Tropical/Bacanal, Bonde do Rolê worked with a variety of producers, including DJ Chernobyl (who also worked on their first record), Diplo, Switch, Boys Noize among others. In this album \"they have left the gimmick of funk behind to work on a mélange of all styles of Brazilian modern music and turned it on its head\" says Diplo. \nIn a recent interview with Rolling Stone Brazil Gorky mentioned, (translated) \"if I had to draw, this album would be like a sun with a happy face, and the former was a sad moon face.\" \nThe album is set to be released May 2012 in Brazil and the rest of the world.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/bonde+do+role","playStationPath":"/stations/332612959/play","stationId":332612959,"bioPath":"/music/bonde+do+role/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Copacabana+Club","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/891/891084b910244d158de38c3e3787e742_md.jpg","artistName":"Copacabana Club","artistId":108579,"station_id":281719064},{"musicPath":"/music/Le+Tigre","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b67/b6726f5505c46566d6a551ab0535deef_md.jpg","artistName":"Le Tigre","artistId":1125,"station_id":113423969},{"musicPath":"/music/Gram","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/84c/84c62fc0352b3562ebe39e093f2f06b3_md.jpg","artistName":"Gram","artistId":108653,"station_id":281719079},{"musicPath":"/music/Ladyhawke","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b9e/b9eeffd7a72a4caf7cc54030ea3de4ef_md.jpg","artistName":"Ladyhawke","artistId":13713,"station_id":113286654},{"musicPath":"/music/Racionais+MC+s","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/ec3/ec32d063acf5d35b3827a5105455c771_md.jpg","artistName":"Racionais MC's","artistId":364297,"station_id":394276364},{"musicPath":"/music/Forfun","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/951/9510761b9d357a07dd12265e0732e31c_md.jpg","artistName":"Forfun","artistId":78430,"station_id":267130924},{"musicPath":"/music/Rita+Lee","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/325/3257c57cab4fa8399dcfcd0ff1a4e913_md.jpg","artistName":"Rita Lee","artistId":79432,"station_id":267405725},{"musicPath":"/music/Soulwax","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/7a9/7a932837f797d0afcc8be4bcd16cde99_md.jpg","artistName":"Soulwax","artistId":11702,"station_id":113475008},{"musicPath":"/music/AlunaGeorge","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/fa2/fa2b2d313ba9789379011033922406c4_md.jpg","artistName":"AlunaGeorge","artistId":184162,"station_id":325637787},{"musicPath":"/music/Skank","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/407/407b6526bf4e2a165268d111c0517616_md.jpg","artistName":"Skank","artistId":678,"station_id":113294747},{"musicPath":"/music/O+Terno","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/922/9223adddfc4de1aa96075bade9a71d05_md.jpg","artistName":"O Terno","artistId":411730,"station_id":399288780},{"musicPath":"/music/Los+Hermanos","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/f37/f37ef467a06d959d92b78738c18ddb5f_md.jpg","artistName":"Los Hermanos","artistId":79042,"station_id":267230241},{"musicPath":"/music/Elliphant","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/a58/a58bad135120a04791015de66712bb8e_md.jpg","artistName":"Elliphant","artistId":249790,"station_id":359906187},{"musicPath":"/music/Ludov","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/d0a/d0a6dbc8a97d50d72a4844f12f705892_md.jpg","artistName":"Ludov","artistId":133061,"station_id":285651034},{"musicPath":"/music/Mombojo","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/071/0717a01131afb73bf89d3ed36462c13b_md.jpg","artistName":"Mombojo","artistId":132476,"station_id":285650404},{"musicPath":"/music/Kid+Abelha","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/705/705eb994c3e8557ce6e83851a7b3a07c_md.jpg","artistName":"Kid Abelha","artistId":79435,"station_id":267449724},{"musicPath":"/music/O+Rappa","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/d14/d14b587ca4afa9e704c161ad3cc2a507_md.jpg","artistName":"O Rappa","artistId":88490,"station_id":271025814},{"musicPath":"/music/Friendly+Fires","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/cd9/cd932cfff670eb4f86f8ae6c0edb40cd_md.jpg","artistName":"Friendly Fires","artistId":12895,"station_id":113414911}]}
