Sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads

I went and bought the Bondo do Role album, 'With Lasers' yesterday. It's been produced by Diplo, who has been romantically linked with M.I.A and who contributed to 'Bucky Done Gun'. On first listen, 'With Lasers' sounded a lot like 'Arular'. But it also has the silliness of CSS, some typical Brazilian drumming, the electro-sex-funk of Peaches, and some pretty heavy guitars too. Personally, I think it will be a big hit with the Poptimists community, but I wanted to see if anyone else has got the album, or seen them live, and what they think? I'll hopefully be seeing them at Glastonbury (Saturday, 7.30pm Lounge Stage) so am intrigued to hear if anyone has seen their live set.

I was in a bit of a rush this morning, so only had time to upload one track, and it's probably the silliest on the album, featuring kazoos (yes, very Embrace)!

Thoughts please.

I tried to see them live but they got scared by the audience and didn't come on stage! So I'm kinda not pleased with them at the moment...
