CSS at the Metro | Photo gallery

When CSS dropped its debut album a few years back I couldn't help but think the Brazilians's combination of attitude, fashion-forwardness and catch-all indie-electro sass would make the young women (and a guy) indie stars—perhaps I slightly underestimated their influence. Lovefoxxx and company now seem at the center of a worldly/fashion/art conscious swirl that seethes within the internet's fashion blogs and download sites. Chicago was lucky enough to get a preview of the band's upcoming album this past weekend at the Metro. It was a bit different from the CSS that crashed into the Pitchfork sidestage some years back—but a good time nonetheless.
