Slog - Comments on Os Mutantes to play Seattle! http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/04/os_mutantes_to For fans of Brazilian music, the upcoming shows by trio Os Mutantes are the equivalent of a Beatles reunion. This morning, it was announced that, after their first show since 1973 at the Barbican museum in London on May 22, 2006, and a pair of U.S. dates (in New York and LA, natch), the seminal Tropicalia band will also perform in San Francisco, Chicago, and, on Wednesday, July 26, at the Moore Theater in Seattle.

Because, as much as I love that band, she's really the spicy, latin glue that holds them together. If she's not there things might be a little limp. Those few records that they made without her are scary. Like a bad Santana cover band.

But, who am I kidding...I'll end up treking to Chicago to see them . Rita or no Rita...but hopefully Rita.

Now Playing: "A Divina Comedia Ou"

And I agree, she is the spicy latin glue that holds the band together.

Bat Makumba!

but who are they playing with? and at the Moore? eesh! I heard in LA they're playing with the Flaming Lips. Funny thing about that, turns out for all the Alterna-luv, the Lips aren't known by most of my LA '60s sike/garage collector friends! which, to me, is just BEAUTIFUL!

Sano Holy fuck! this is going to be great if just to hear a couple of the *ahem* hits like Bat Macumba or A Meihna Meihna (sp). I'd rather see that cuddly little Beck perform with them then the FLips but alas, we ain't got a choice...this is just great news! I can't wait for the Stranger piece "teaching" us all how to like tropicalia now...ugh. That will blow.
