Eclectic Brazilians, Cansei de Ser Sexy, or CSS if you will, hit Edinburgh on 12 October. And for one week only it looks like the hottest Latin performers in the UK won’t be Manchester City footballers.

Billed as the biggest act ever to emerge from South America, CSS’s brand of electronic pop funk is undeniably impressive and has catapulted them into music’s premier league. Everyone from Apple to the NME seems to have experienced veritable aural orgasms over songs as wonderfully titled as 'Music Is My Hot Hot Sex'. Even two years after their debut UK release, the critical and commercial infatuation with the sextet doesn’t show any signs of abating. Their latest album, Donkey, was released in July and the band is utterly convinced it’s a far superior work to its previous effort. In a recent interview, CSS guitarist, Ana de Rezende, said: “Our first one was recorded in a backyard. It was very homemade, which was very cool, but this time we wanted to take it one step further than that.”

So with a new album to support, and live performances so energetic you’d struggle not to break into a sweat just watching them, CSS have a lot to live up to when they hit Scotland’s capital. Not that de Rezende thinks audiences will be left in any way disappointed: "It's very hard for us to go on stage and look bored. This is our job and that is how we like to do it. It's cool that people view us as a party band, because people come expecting to have fun, jump and scream."

If the idea of six livewire South Americans performing catchy, electronic pop numbers on subject-matter as diverse as sex, yoga and Jagermeister sounds like your bag then get yourself down to The Liquid Room this October.
