The Brazilian Girls performed yesterday in Prospect Park as part of the "Celebrate Brooklyn" series. Since Yangblog is a dork, I had never heard of the "Brazilian Girls". However, "Brazilian" and "Girls" was enough for me to check them out. A couple of thoughts about "Brazilian Girls":
1) The place was packed. The band seems influenced by Stereolab, Velvet Underground, and Portishead but more clubby. One blog, "The House of Leaf and Lime" describes them as having a"loungy, clubby, almost downbeat kind of thing going on". That sounds about right.
2) If you think Christina Aguilera or Pussycat Dolls are sexy, you are NEVER ALLOWED TO READ YANGBLOG AGAIN. Seriously. Get out of here. (waiting). The answer to "Who is the sexiest performer in music?" is Sabina Sciubba. Her presence is like Bjork and Sade mashed into one. Sabina also has the "Euro art school girl with issues" thing going on. Try not to get too excited. Yangblog is a family blog.
3) The crowd was mainly tattooed hipters in their 20's. This is not a surprise. What is a surprise is most of them SUCK AT DANCING. As you can imagine, this was painful to watch. If any tattooed hipsters are reading, please remember to move to the DOWNBEAT. Do not look like you're trying too hard and stop clenching your teeth. One pretty Indian girl was trying to dance and look sexy at the same time. She was a quarter beat off. The audience behind her was snickering. Ouch.
Overheard from a perplexed woman in her 50's standing next to me:
"What the hell is this? Where are the girls? Where are the girls? I only see guys!!!! Wait, I see one girl! I thought the band is Brazilian GIRLS!!!! Why is there only one girl? I don't think any of them are Brazilian! This is not Brazilian music!!! Where are the girls?"
Man, I love Brooklyn.
