Olá!!! É com grande prazer que vimos anunciar a nova vocalista dos Gully, Carina Silva. Podem ouvi-la nos 2 primeiros temas do nosso player, Procissão Mecânica e Monotonia, e vê-la nas várias fotos promocionais e dos 2 concertos que já deu.
Para já procuramos concertos para promover a nova formação da banda e preparar o primeiro álbum dos Gully que deverá ser gravado até ao final do ano.
Hey flowery friend(s). rR has finally (!!) finished its new album - fill the space. And since Uma Floresta inspired ME (yes, really), you might like to see what came of it. The entire album is available as 192 kbps mp3s for absolutely zilch right now on myspace. Enjoy!
Come join the celebration over the release of our new CD – Boteco!!
‘Boteco’ is an artful mixture of neo-futuristic traditional Brazilian rhythms with the right quantity of the best North American spices. It is funk and rock boiling and baking with samba, maracatu, frevo and baiao.
Put Pele and Mohammed Ali in a fictional mix machine. Now add Frank Zappa, Sergio Mendes, Tom Jobim and Roger Waters and fused in to one. What a mix eh? Bat Makumba is this fusion, multiplied by 2.
CD Release Parties: 10/31 Someday Lounge – Portland, OR 11/01 Cozmic Pizza – Eugene, OR 11/06 Moe’s Alley – Santa Cruz, CA 11/07 The Old Ironsides – Sacramento, CA 11/13 The Great American Music Hall – San Francisco, CA 11/21 Stage Door – Mount Shasta, CA 12/04 Harp Inn – Costa Mesa, CA 12/05 Santa Monica Bar & Grille – Santa Monica, CA ...more to come
