As my internet connection fully sucked, what was it you were trying to tell me about RGs and drunks?

[splikle]

Just pretty much that Goiânia is the shit.

But I had to go because Andréia was taking me to a motorcycle bar... all of the seats were from old bikes and the tables were bike frames with glass on top. I met a bunch of kids from local bands and took a shot of lobster water (aka, "What's in that bottle?" "A lobster! Here, try the brine!") with high proof liquor to prove that Americans aren't weak.

Man, why does it seem like a lot of these hip bands in the (Anglo-American) indie rock scene come out of Brazil? what's up with that

It's cause they're pretty bacana here.

Check out Bisk8, S.A. 44, Lake, LSD (Luta Sem Descansa), Poser Pride, The Ugly, and if you can find it, SKI (Sakura Kabelos Invertidos). Some of them are on myspace, most are on tramavirtual.com.br

What's bacana?

I mean, what kind of institutions are in place to encourage indie rock? Record labels? Venues? Zine cultures? Myspace -- or some other Brazilian equivalent of a hipster community social networking system?
