Zémaria @ Electric Picnic Festival - Saturday, 5th september!
Mind the Gap Dublin
"For the past week the brazilian electro-rock band Zemaria have been playing gigs in Dublin and around Ireland. Their gig on Friday in The South William really showed how much potential these guys have, giving off so much energy while playing (it must be all the Brazilian heat!), Zemaria didn't fail to impress. Watching them set up in the corner of the pub while everyone was sitting around having a few quiet drinks, you wouldn't of thought they would have made the impact that they did. The lads successfully managed to bring everyone up dancing in front of them with their live up-beat electro songs. Throwing together a mix of styles, varying from Brazilian funk-soul to electro-rock Daft Punk classics, they sure won't ever be just that 'other band'.
Their experience and talent are beyond that and I'm sure Zemaria will get their recognition deserved before going home. They're still playing here for another week and after that they head off on the rest of their European tour, luckily we'll get another chance to catch them as they are stopping off again in Ireland for Electric Picnic and a few other gigs around the country."

"Summer not feeling very Summer-y? Life lacking a bit of sparkle? Fear not, armed with their durrty Brazilian beats, Zemaria are here to inject some much needed sunshine into your otherwise dreary existence. The Sau Paulo boys (and girl) are back with new album '11 Trax' which is (yup, you guessed it) 11 tracks of pure funk ridden quality. Combining electro, disco, house and breaks, the album is a mixed up slice of deadliness. Album opener 'Air Talk' boasts a criminally infectious stomp and only the wheelchair bound could fail to dance to 'Someone Else'... Scorchio!"

"I’ve been kinda feeling Zémaria’s new album, The Space Ahead...the tunes are enjoyable, as far as electro-pop numbers with shades club go, Zémaria is pretty much on target. "

"É um electro finíssimo que banha em ouro o som do grupo e que, ao vivo, se transforma em um legítimo coletivo de rock, se levarmos em consideração sua presença de palco. Arrisco dizer, ainda, que se Calvin Harris resolvesse fundar uma banda de rock, seria exatamente assim que ela soaria."
Move that Jukebox
"Com o toque feminino dos vocais de Sanny Lys, as músicas soam mais naturais, orgânicas, mesmo que essa natureza entre em contradição com os sintetizadores que se destacam a cada acorde de guitarra, a cada boom de bateria. Como um copo de água gelada num dia de calor, Sanny dá um ar de frescor à musicalidade do grupo a cada palavra entonada. Graças a ela, "Centenário" fica com cara de brincadeira e "Any Distance" se transforma em uma boa pedida para uma manhã ensolarada de domingo. (...)"Hit do Porto" é que mais se destaca no registro, sendo estrelado por uma voz masculina e apoiada por backing vocals grudentos. A melodia não é agitada, mas segue num ritmo dançante e com um grande potencial vicioso, ficando pau-a-pau com os últimos hits de Phoenix e Passion Pit."
