Exclusive: Bonde do Role Sign to Domino
Bonde do Role, Brazilian genre mashers, Pitchfork Music Festival survivors, and friends of Diplo (and who isn't these days?), have taken their party-starting to the next level by signing to Domino Records. Their first release for the label will be the "Solta o Frango" single, scheduled to come out April 10, and they will follow that with a currently untitled album in May.
(We hope that a remix for their now-labelmates Animal Collective is in the works.)
Before they fully become Domino artists, the trio will release the Gasolina EP on January 22 via Diplo's Mad Decent label. The EP features an extended mix of the album version of "Gasolina" as well as remixes of the song by Radio Clit, Buraka Som Sistema, and Scotty B and King Tut.
Bonde also have a full tour in the works, but for now they have four dates planned for March. The last date is an appearance at the Mad Decent South by Southwest showcase, which also includes sets by Diplo, Sinden, Amanda Blank, Flosstradamus, and DJ Blaqstarr. The latter happens to be the newest signing to the Mad Decent roster, and his Supastarr EP is scheduled for a spring release on the label.
The showcase's announcement appears on the Mad Decent blog with a cryptic reference to the addition of "a very special guest ???." Dudes, we can spot an M.I.A. appearance a mile away. (Unless, of course, the breakup rumors are true.)
Dates:
03-10 Mexico City, Mexico - MX Festival *
03-11 San Diego, CA - Casbah *
03-13 Los Angeles, CA - Safari Sam's *
03-16 Austin, TX - Beauty Bar (Mad Decent SXSW showcase) *#
