About: Cansei de Ser Sexy (lit. "[I'm] tired of being sexy" in Portuguese; better known as CSS) is a Brazilian band from São Paulo. Their songs have an electro-rock/ New Wave sound, and are sung in both English and Portuguese; their lyrics mostly concern pop culture.
CSS formed in September 2003, consisting of a group of friends. Their name was taken from a reported quote by Beyoncé, who allegedly declared that she was "tired of being sexy".
The band first became known through the internet. Their fotolog gained popularity and their songs were frequently downloaded from Trama Virtual's website (a Brazilian website similar to MySpace Music). After this overnight sensation, Trama Virtual invested heavily in the band, inviting a series of Brazilian and British journalists to report on them. Articles were printed in several Brazilian magazines and even British newspapers such as The Guardian, whose reporter was invited to see the band playing just before their signing for the debut, at a club in São Paulo. He predicted that they "could be the biggest band ever to come out of South America".
