CSS Tour With Diplo, Ladytron

It's hard work being sexy, and frankly, our hot Brazilian friends are sick of putting up with it. But sometimes the urge to make people dance can overcome even the mightiest wave of exhaustion. Brazil's Cansei de Ser Sexy (Portuguese for "Tired of Being Sexy"), or CSS for short, will bring their baile funk jams to North American dancefloors this week, as Sub Pop releases their self-titled debut album tomorrow.

Starting Thursday, CSS will sex up North America on the road with Diplo, Pitchfork's resident DJ (seriously, we just stumble into HQ in the morning and dude's already in the middle of some megamix) and Bondo do Role, fellow Brazilians and the first signing to Diplo's Mad Decent label. The triple-threat tour will stop at the Pitchfork Music Festival.

CSS will take a month off between mid-August and mid-September, then they will get sexy again on tour with Ladytron.
