Fruet e os Cozinheiros comes from Porto Alegre in the temperate south of Brazil, near Argentina and Uruguay. In Fruet’s music, rock mixes with elements of tango and milonga. The lyrics and music are reminiscent of samba and classic “Música Popular Brasileira”, but with a flavor distinct from that of Rio and tropical Brazil.

Miscellany

The December & January Eyedrum Podcasts are ready to download. 

February: This month we played live Tree Creature (playing at Eyedrum again on March 12th), MV+EE, Magicicada and Baby Dee (both Feb 25th), and a live recording of Zentropy. Then we peeled paint with a blast of rawk from Psychedelic Horsesh*t, Times New Viking, White Mice and Sighting, all of which are playing at Eyedrum on various dates in March. We played a few tracks by Beat Circus and Larkin Grimm in anticipation of their Feb 12th show. Then Andy Ditzler from Film Love visited us in studio to tell us about his Tearoom (Feb 22nd) and George Kuchar (Mar 21st) film events. We finished off with a couple Open Improv pieces and one by Kinan.

You can find information and links to download these podcasts (and many others) here…

Eyedrum’s programming is supported in part by the City of Atlanta Office of Cultural Affairs and by the Fulton County Board of Commissioners under the guidance of the Fulton County Arts Council.
