The long-awaited 2nd Album from CSS - "Donkey" out now!!

-CSS-
Signed to the famous American Indy label 'Sub Pop' after developing a large following on the internet.
Known together with the Klaxons as the flag-bearers of the 'New-Rave' movement - they got their big break featuring in an iPod Touch commercial. Since then, they have been busy - guesting on a new song by Primal Scream, and remixing for such artists as Kylie Minogue and Digitalism. Flitting over the boundaries of pop, rock and dance CSS is a 5 member rock band from Sao Paulo, Brazil. Their newest tracks combine yoga, reggae, and fashion with the sharply contrasting emotions of love, anger and despair - energetic dance-rock songs which paint a picture of the pleasure of life's many ups and downs.

In addition to their live performances they also participate in events promoting peace and environmental awareness.
July 16th, 2008 sees the much-anticipated FUNKIST major debut maxi-single "My Girl".
