Fri 25th Nov, 2011 in Local News

Cansei de Ser Sexy aka CSS visited us for the Big Day Out earlier this year and made good use of their time by persuading fellow BDO tourist Bobby Gillespie to guest on their new album, La Liberación. They’re heading back Down Under to celebrate New Years at Falls Festival and play a pair of sideshows, which will hopefully be everybit as fun as their BDO shows, which FL’s reviewer in Sydney described as “exceptional.. you cannot help but get caught up in the endearing, hyperactive presence of Lovefoxx that is only helped by her hilarious banter”.

CSS sideshows:
Tuesday 3rd January – The Standard, Sydney
Thursday 5th January – Corner Hotel, Melbourne
