Warpaint: carioca excitement

After another succesful mobilization of the project Queremos, the californian quartet, will show up, on stage, at Circo Voador on the 07/10. Tickets on sale!

Annoyed with the lack of music events in Rio de Janeiro and tired of demanding a change, the project Queremos presented another intelligent alternative, highlighting a completely distinct format: dividing the cost of the events with the public, to guarantee its realization. The money invested will be returned after the sale of the tickets for the show. After unforgettable concerts, Queremos just confirmed the band Warpaint, the band will show at Circo Voador (07/10). Attention: tickets on sale already!

This time, the piggy bank gang, known as "enthusiastic cariocas", raised R$ 42 thousand to cover the costs of Warpaint's Show in Rio. Until, last Thursday (08/09), 220 reimbursable tickets were sold at a premium price of R$ 200. With the show's confirmation, these tickets converted into 1.040 regular tickets (R$ 60). With a full house, or the target exceeded, the value of the ticket is reimbursed to those who contributed for the initial investment. A fair trade, I would say. The poster for the show, that, was designed by Carol Santos, was just released and it looks beautiful!!! (as you can see above).

Gathering four women, Emily Kokal (vocals and guitar), Theresa Wayman (vocals and guitar), Jenny Lee Lindberg (vocals and bass) and Stella Mozgawa (drums), the band Warpaint appears as the big bet of the international music industry scenery. It has been recently nominated by BBC as one of the "top 15 promises of 2011". Los Angeles offspring, was born in 2004, the group has already included members such as: actress Shannyn Sossamon and guitarist Jojsh Klinghoffer, Red Hot Chili Peppers, however without being successful.

After a curious debut EP - Exquisite Corpse, released in 2009 - Warpaint presented its first album, just in, October 2010. The wait was well justified with The Fool, which already received several compliments from the critics and ours too. From there to there, the quartet has been on the road for more than a year and half. Now the group unships at Rio, to close its international first album tour, right here at Circo Voador, convenient no?

With remarkable songs such as: Stars, Elephant Undertow among others, the group reveals a unique   sonority by presenting intrinsic lines of guitar and hypnotic vocals. With a strong influence of rhythms post-punk,Warpaint brings us "songs that vary from the psychedelic to the intimacy". The lightness of the melodies seems to seek something beyond the sound, as if it was channeling some sort of mystic mantra.  For those who don't know the band, it's worth checking the sound of these 4. They, literally,  rock! See you there.

To feel a little Warpaint's sense, we leave you a very interesting video. Check it Alt!!
