"SKYGIRLS" is a new project, headed by the great brazilian alt-rock bastard poet Rogério Skylab.
Formed by Thiago Martins (guitar) and Bruno Coelho (drums), both from Skylab's original band, it also has Eliza Schinner on bass and Leandra Lambert (Voz Del Fuego) on keyboards, programming and vocals.
The band has made their live debut on Rio de Janeiro, with two shows at Cinematheque. Right after that, they recorded their album on May 2009, at CIA dos Técnicos, mixed by Vânius Marques.
Two covers from classic french songs entered the album's repertoire: "La Mer", composed by Charles Trenet; and "AH Melody", by Serge Gainsbourg, originally from his famous "Histoire de Melody Nelson" album.
The album is being launched by Psicotropicodelia Music [netlabel] in two formats: free/copyleft download and [limited pressing double] CD.
All the album and hotsite's graphic conception was in designer Flávio Lazarino's hands, whose art style is already consolidated on many of our previous releases. Mastering work was done by Sao Paulo producer Flanicx.
The creative artillery and cultural/ musical importance of Rogério Skylab were our main reasons for releasing it.
We, at the schizo directory, needed such a strong item for extending the label's range; specially by embracing a psychedelic and alternative rock/ska/dub side; which also lives in our brains/ souls/ hearts/ playlists :].
