Hot tropic

When temperatures rise, we itch for some steamy tropicalia. Brazil’s Garotas Suecas fit our needs like a pair of pink Havaianas. With scorching guitar solos, horns and ass-shaking rhythms, the São Pauloans give us the closest thing to a fantasy ’60s jam between Them and Os Mutantes. Catch them opening for Chandeliers at Empty Bottle on April Fool’s Day before they hit the big time.
