After Sao-Paulo, one of the most brazilian exciting musical scene of the moment already approached with the releases of Hurtmold and Satanic Samba's compilation, then came Porto Alegre with the amazing aerian tracks of the Darma Lovers, lets go to Brasilia, the cult-city built by Oscar Niemeyer and Lucio Costa to discover LUCY AND THE POPSONICS.
That duo, also in a relationship for years, joined together with a bass, electric guitar and a laptop,had probably produced the most fun, Fresh and exciting album from the Lula's country.

Folha de Sao Paulo, Vogue, Rolling Stone, MTV have been immediately seduced by the Electro-punk music of that sexy duo of Brasilia offering at the same time the possibillity for the band to tour in the big festivals.
They met at kindergarten, shared delicious sweets and a weird taste for non sense. Later on, they became a cute-mid-height couple with great musical and aesthetic affinity. They tried some bad succeeded rides through rock and then decided to exterminate drummer players at their group. All of a sudden, something pretty extraordinary happened: they received super powers from an electronic drum kit, Lucy, and became Popsonics.
Followed by that, in a very strange experience at the backyard of the studio, it happened an exotic visit from other space genre, also a couple, Eletropandas. This couple got Fernanda and Pil Popsonic contaminated by a never seen fable, in which pleasure is the top command, pose and feelgood aspects of life are the destiny. They don't know so far whether it's a dream or a real fable. Would it be a farse? The effects of this meeting between Popsonics and Eletropandas resulted in "A Fábula (ou a Farsa?) de Dois Eletropandas" [The Fable (or the Farse?) of Two Electropandas], Lucy and The Popsonics' debut album.
