Let Your X's Be Y's

A wild debut album of baile-bass/punk-funk/new wave from Brazil/London-based group Tetine. While Tetine may appear to be the most recent addition to the growing Brazilian post-punk/baile funk scene that includes the groups CSS and Bonde do Role, the group have actually been in existence the longest, and have an infamy in the Sao Paulo scene that they helped create. Bruno Verner and Eliete Mejorado formed the group, Tetine, in Sao Paulo in 1995. The pair now spend their time between London and their hometown and while Let Your X's Be Y's is their first album to be released in the UK, it is in fact their eighth release in Brazil. A wild mix-up of punk-funk/new wave/post-punk/baile-bass, Tetine's music is a mixture of raw punky energy and attitude mixed with bass-heavy dance music. Tetine have carved an unusual musical path between music, art, video and performance and their infamous live events range from rock gigs to gallery installations. This album also comes with a limited edition bonus track -- the CSS remix of "I Go To The Doctor."
