The Role at an end?

Some dispiriting news from Bonde Do Role: Rodrigo Gorky suggests they're on the edge of falling to pieces:

"We're having internal problems, we are trying to sort things out but meanwhile we are just going to have to cancel some of the shows... We are sorting things out right now."

Let's hope its just touring strains and not deep-seated endgame problems.

A new Role

Bonde Do Role are lining up a new ep, featuring a smorgasbord of remixes. Marina Gasolina is out around December 4th depending on where you are, with a tracklisting kind of like this:


01. Marina Gasolina (New Version)
02. Contaminada
03. Cagago
04. Miami Beach
05. Marina Gasolina (Fake Blood Remix)
06. Marina Gasolina (Peaches Remix)
07. Office Boy (CSS Remix)
08. Office Boy (Architecture In Helsinki Remix)
09. Solta O Frango (Bitchee Bitchee Ya Ya Remix)
10. Solta O Frango (Ladytron Remix)

As good an excuse as any to lob in the Office Boy video:

Bonde Do Role pull teeth, US tour

Bonde Do Role's support slots with CSS in the US have been pulled, as Rodrigo Gorky needed emergency dental treatment requiring a return to Brazil. Because, of course, there aren't any dentists at all in New York.

The UK dates are expected to go ahead as planned, unless somebody needs a podiatrist in a hurry.
