 Click for music events Tip of the Week Bonde do Role
Don’t plan on standing against the wall with arms folded while checking out Baile-funk ambassadors Bonde do Role. Marina Ribatski, Pedro D'Eyrot and Rodrigo Gorky come to the stage packing massive beats and more than enough attitude to turn any venue into a hedonistic throwdown that lives up to their native Brazil’s outsized reputation for parties. The chanted rhymes are mostly in Portuguese, but Pedro and Marina’s tawdry come-ons require no translation, and the retro beats and samples work just as well today as when they first hit the clubs. Throw in Marina’s grinding dance moves and infamously garish style and you get a party vibe snowballing through the club, growing stronger with each new body it pulls into the dance floor. Bonde do Role isn’t about musical chops, but they get by just fine with sex appeal, humor and the unshakable lure of a loud kick drum.
Bonde do Role plays with Juiceboxxx at Empty Bottle, 1035 North Western, (773)276-3600, on September 21, 10pm. $10 in advance, $12 at the door.
