Brazilian indie rock stalwarts, CSS have announced their return! The band has ended their hiatus with the announcement of their first American tour in 11 years: IT’S BEEN A NUMBER OF YEARS TOUR 2024.

CSS (Cansei de Ser Sexy), made up of band members Lovefoxxx, Ana Rezende, Carolina Parra and Luiza Sá will also celebrate their 20th anniversary as a band. While the band is focused on their tour dates, no mention has been made of new music.

The highly anticipated limited tour is finally here, and it’s going to be one for the books, especially for those of us who were part of the indie aughts scene. It all kicks off on May 3rd in Washington, DC and wraps up at California’s Just Like Heaven Festival.

Tickets are on sale now for shows in Washington DC, Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco, along with shows in New York, Boston, Minneapolis, and Chicago. In addition to CSS’s Just Like Heaven festival date, the group will also perform at the Kilby Block Party in Utah.

“Even though we weren’t active for 20 years straight, it’s bananas to come back in 2024 to celebrate these two decades. Lovefoxxx says, “I DJ often, and I am approached by fans who tell me how much “we’ve helped them figure out themselves”, “showed a way out” out of societal norms, and even “inspired them to be who they are” – which melts my heart because most of these fans are delicate queer creative people.

CSS always had this stance of not taking itself seriously and it is still true. We first got together because we wanted an excuse to live and work at the right time. We are deeply united by our sense of humor and our deep sisterhood and friendship. It’s so nice to know we touched some people and are still harvesting this love 20 years later.

BEST NEW MUSIC

So since the cycle of life can’t be stopped and trends come back after 20 years: demand came and we are honored to do a celebration tour. Sing the hits and non hits. Jump around, make jokes, reconnect with this energy that only CSS delivers to us and give it a go, for the naive times, for the raw and crazy, to fall in love again in the clubs, once more!”
