After a noted absence from the Los Angeles area, Brazillian girl-fronted dance poppers Cansei de Ser Sexy—or, more simply, CSS—have announced plans to return to Southern California on their North American and European tour this upcoming fall.
Despite the unexpected departure of bassist Ira Trevisan in early April, CSS has signed on to play numerous summer festivals, including the inaugural installment of All Points West. The band is also slated to release their sophomore effort, Donkey, on Sub Pop records July 22.
Can’t wait that long? Good news—you can listen to the first single off Donkey, “Rat is Dead (Rage)”, below.
Tickets for the Los Angeles dates have not gone on sale as of yet, but stay tuned to the SketchyTown Concert Calendar for updates.
