GOOD MORNING KISS

Vincent Ash (Guit), Duda Couto (Voice, Guit), Pedro Porto (Bass) and Alexandre Nunes (Drums) are Good Morning Kiss. The band is Porto Alegre based but they could be from Manchester, New York City or Dublin because it sounds different than brazilian pop rock sounds. When I listen on the first time thought a kind of Sebadoh or Folk Implosion fragments but listening it carefully there are more than Lou Barlow influence. There are a punch precision of american bands from the 90's plus a selfband style that results in excellent and exciting songs.

ORKESTRA MECÂNICA

Igor Ribeiro is a guy that combine creativity and sensibility while go into the soul deep with harmonies, depression and poetry tunes. He played on Tods, Iris, Ess and other jams friends but now he bets all his experience on Orkestra Mecânica. Finaly now he can do exactly what he wants. The songs comes from of another side of the life and sometimes seems his tunes is made for himself because in Curitiba nobody understand what he is doing. Don't worry about Igor, I know exactly you thinks!

BLUE AFTERNOON

Blue Afternoon was born of the will of Guilherme Barrella to write sad songs in the style of some of his great idols, such as Tim Hardin, Leonard Cohen, Lambchop and Tindersticks, but it took some time to find the ideal partners to take the project ahead. Guilherme started to transform his ideas into songs, with a leading acoustic guitar and instruments as harmonica and cello following his melancholic voice.
Some years later, Blue Afternoon recorded Folxploitation, with the arrangements that Guilherme always imagined for his songs. In tuning with bands as Black Heart Procession and Smog, the sound of Blue Afternoon is simple and elaborated at the same time. Calm songs, where silence matters as much as each sound, fragile melodies, serious and moved vocals, delicate and intense arrangements, desolate and poetical lyrics, a sad mood and equal doses of folk, avant-rock, soul and country make of Blue Afternoon an unique band.
In late 2004, Blue Afternoon released Radio Sessions, an album comprised of two separate radio sessions, one acoustic and one electric. Guilherme is now recording his new album Countrypolitan, to be released in summer 2006.
Guilherme is also a member of the bands Vurla, Open Field, Maison, Ocean Pacific and occasionally plays with Open Field Church, Prelinger Archives and Tony da Gatorra. He runs the Peligro mailorder and the Open Field record label.
