Bonde Do Role sign with Domino
- TrocaBrahma line-up announced
Domino-signed act Bonde do Role have been trimmed from three to two, after the departure of MC Marina Vello.
The band revealed the split in a MySpace bulletin.
Titled super ultra important announcement, the act explained the motives that hid behind an “exhaustion and illness” sick-note for the last tour:
"Due to several internal problems between us, we had to cancel a lot of our shows from the European tour, and we also had to cancel the scheduled Australian tour (everyone knew how excited we were about it!). For that we're really really sorry.
"And we also announce that Marina is no longer with us, due to these internal problems. We wish her all the best in whatever she decides to do with her future, and she can always count on us as friends. We are working these issues [out] right now as we speak, and we hope we can make it up to everyone who we let down this year, in the most awesome way we can!"
Who should Bonde do Role get to replace Marina Vello? DiScuss.

God no!
Lovefoxxx is very over-rated. Each time I've seen CSS, Lovefoxx "ain't been all that"
sad :(
especially considering i forgot (hungover) to go see them when they were in sheffield not long ago.
Replacement Singer...
Robert Palmer.
Is this only just news?
My BF is a friend of DJ Gorky of the band, and this happened about 3 weeks ago after a show at the Scala. I thought it was already common knowledge... Kinda sad if they find an inferior replacement.
^ this ^
Lovefoxx is terrible in almost every department
Bonde Do Role are okayish, but i wont be crying any tears for them
That
Would be pretty hard...
yeah
i'm glad i never made the effort to go home to see them since it was cancelled
sucks she left as they won't really be the same without her
MC Marina Vello
Pretended to be a cat in Soko's song about Baby Cat's when she was supporting MIA on Saturday.
She was crawling around on the stage and miaowing.
Nooooooooooooooooooooo
I'd heard the rumours after the Scala show, but now it's confirmed, and starting to sink in. What a shame. One brilliant album, a string of fantastic live shows, and that's all? Gutted. Best new band of 2007, and they've split up before the year is even over.
Saw them at the beginning of the year..
And they were quite entertaining, I think she plays a massive part in stage presence and the general live show. Replacing her won't be easy.
In Brighton...
She was in a MASSIVE mood. She just stood there with her hands on her hips singing with a bored expression on her face whilst the other two went nuts. I thought she had that indie bored thing going on but turns out she was just being moody. I think this band are kinda meh.
marina gasolina
is a top track. and office boy (css remix/brodinski remix) are top fucking notch.
the woman on the diplo song
that rapper on the diplo rhythm track was also awesome.
