São Paulo, Brazil (2003 – present)
Cansei de Ser Sexy (commonly known as CSS) is a band from São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2003. The members are: Lovefoxxx (vocals), Adriano Cintra (drums, guitar, vocals and production), Luiza Sá (guitar, drums and keys), Ana Rezende (guitar and harmonica), Iracema Trevisan (bass) and Carolina Parra (guitar and drums).
In an interview, guitarist/harmonica player Ana Rezende explains the band’s name:
“[…] we heard that Beyoncé had said that she was really tired of being sexy, which is a really retarded thing to say. It’s like saying, “Oh, I’m tired of being rich.” So “tired of being sexy” in Portuguese is cansei de ser sexy, so we put it on the flyer to promote the show that we were playing and we kind of got stuck with that name. It was just the stupidest name that we could have ever come up with, but it’s funny and I love it. But sometimes people think that we’re serious and we’re tired of being recognized for our bodies or something like that, and it’s nothing like that at all…”
CSS owes a lot of its success to word-of-mouth promotion on the internet, starting with the Trama Virtual website, a kind of Brazilian MySpace. A live performance in 2004 at Tim Festival on the same stage as 2 Many DJs and Kraftwerk increased their fanbase.
In 2005, they signed with trama virtual and in October of the same year their first album was released in Brazil.

é uma vergonha que uma banda dessas não tenha espaço no Brasil, então elas fogem, cantam em inglês e fazem dinheiro. É o mais inteligente, o mais prudente, mas acho uma falta de sentimento de pátria.

Woofit dreamt that he was a handsome hipster with a penchant for tweed and old man chic, down with the zeitgeist and the cultural milieu. Shamelessly promoting the popular music collective Tarmacians for the discerning denizens of Last FM. All is construct. Hail Tarmacia. Tears for the victims of Lane 23. Yarp Yarp Yorp.
