"Labmusica"

With artfully chaotic tunes, incisive melodies, texts that range from sweet to bitter and plenty of passion, Labmusica keeps the thrills coming in its first opus, 'Mmm...' The mix of Brazilian and English sends the message of rock pounding across the Atlantic.

'Girl, Let's Go go go girl go Girl'. Go on, just try to have a normal week after that.

It's the type of iconic little phrase you can use in any situation. The checkout girl is taking her time, so you shoot her a look and a 'Girl, go go go girl!'

Labmusica is made up of Flavio, Filipe, Ricardo and Gianni, four Paulista who are the rock revelation of the year. (page 45 of url) - Armani / Confidential

"Labmusica on zZounds"

With dual residence in two of the Western world's capitals - Sao Paulo, Brazil and New York City, Labmusica has already made a splash on the music scene, with a successful blend of garage-rock aesthetics and pop sensibility. The band (formerly known as simply Lab) recorded their debut full length album 'Mmm...' in 2008. The album (available for download on their site or purchase on iTunes) plays to the band's strengths - tuneful songs with just enough left turns in the writing to keep listeners from getting too comfortable. Mid-tempo, dance-friendly rockers make up the bulk of the album, but the band does branch out to other genres, such as the surprisingly dark standout track 'Mariachi'. At just under 28 minutes total running time, the album is populated by mostly short tunes (at 4:06, 'Mariachi' is by nearly a minute the longest) - but the hooks are indelible. Their debut album has received attention from numerous Brazilian media outlets, French designer Jean-Charles de Castelbaljac, and the Armani Confidential among others, and the band hopes to continue spreading their sphere of influence. - zZounds

Bio

The Labmusica story begins with main songwriter and composer Flavio Juliano. He was born in an economically turbulent, polluted, complex and also diverse and embracive São Paulo, Brazil in 1981. In 1985 Flavio’s family packed up and shipped out to a New York City suburb.

There, Flavio grew up listening to his father play bossa nova guitar, Brazilian records, as well as Gun’s n’ Roses, Red Hot Chili Peppers and finally Wu Tang Clan and Notorious B.I.G., all brought on by his 3 older brothers. And when he discovered The Beatles, on the verge of returning to São Paulo after 12 years, life changed.

And so Labmusica came into fruition, as a lab of mixtures and influences.

Jazz and metal drummer Ricardo Cifas, who had recently lost his father in a typical act of São Paulo violence, plays a tight set, with sticks dynamics like you wouldn’t believe.

Barely legal bassist Gianni Dias, grandson of the actress who was the counterpart of the first televised kiss on Brazilian TV, steadies the motor of the band with loose live playing and a bit of Motown groove.

Guitarist Filipe Consoline, a descendant of a cannibalistic native Indian tribe called Aymoré, willl have you inadvertently staring at him by his capacity to invent catchy hooks, play them effortlessly live and stage presence.

In 2008 the band spent gigging and recording their midtempo, dance-friendly debut rock album, titled, sexily, ‘Mmm…’, releasing it 2009 and touring around Brazil’s vast territory.

The sound? Think of the Beastie Boys bumping into The Beatles on a dodgy São Paulo street.

2010 came along, a video for Girl, Let’s Go Girl was made by French directors and picked up by MTV Brazil, and the decision was made: ‘we gotta get this music outta this city.’ So the band is hunting for tours, releases, press and just great fun in as many countries and venues as possible.

Their press includes a number of Brazilian publications, including cover of the Folha de São Paulo Art section, but, it's in the International press that Labmusica really shines, beginning with a feature in YRB (Yellow Rat Bastard) magazine as #2 MySpace band. Their latest features are in Armani Confidential magazine and zZounds.com. The band's album has also been used in the renowned French stylist Jean-Charles Castelbajac's fashion show rehearsals.

Add this to a repertoire that, since 2006, has included a MySpace TV live performance recording, launching an Adidas Originals collection, and numerous gigs, such as headlining the Latin-American music festival Grito Rock.
