Rather, they decided to pursue other projects because the band had become a job\u2014an ironic twist considering its members started the group to get out of the monotony of day jobs. When the gang of friends decided to pursue music in 2003, they did so as a way to leave work early and perform at clubs. \u201cIn S\u00e3o Paulo,\u201d bandleader and vocalist Lovefoxxx explains,\u00a0<em>\u201cif you did creative things, it was easier to get off work to perform shows.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>And so, CSS was born out of a passion for laughter, dance music, and, yes, the occasional chance to ditch the 9-5 job. Fast forward 20 years and the band is bringing its vaunted live show back on the road\u2014a decade after they decided that playing shows nine months out of the year wasn\u2019t sustainable. Armed with a revived live show, CSS is bringing their signature hits back to venues across the world, getting back on the road because there\u2019s nothing better than globetrotting and partying in new cities with your best friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2cnOvMFnRvs?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It made sense to begin this next phase of CSS by honouring the band\u2019s powerful, triumphant live shows. This reemergence is for the love of music, as uncynical of a pursuit as any that has existed. There\u2019s no pressure to promote new music, push vinyl, or rehearse new music until perfected. Rather, the group members\u2014who speak to each other every day and have since the band took a breather\u2014decided it would be a blast to remember the old times, and introduce a whole new group of listeners to their thrilling music.<br><br>Part of the band\u2019s decision to do this tour now as opposed to at any other moment came from promoters gauging interest for a new tour from the group. They found this interest touching. A validation that the project was worthwhile.\u00a0<em>&#8220;The fact that we are still resonating is surprising to me. It shows that we truly touched a generation. We were never meant to be role models or inspire. We just wanted to enjoy ourselves. There\u2019s immense power in it,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0says Lovefoxxx.<br><br><em>\u201cWhat keeps us together as friends and probably helped convince us to reunite as a band is our humour. We laugh at the same stuff. We have our own language,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Lovefoxxx concludes. The band wanted to do this journey one more time, and a 20th anniversary tour seemed like the best place to begin. While prepping the run, they\u2019ve Zoomed and called and minimized the distances between them now that all four members are spread across the world. No matter how serious planning gets, or how stressful the prospect of a reunion may be, that sense of humor keeps things in perspective.\u00a0<em>\u201cit&#8217;s something that doesn&#8217;t get old. It ages nicely,\u201d <\/em>adds Lovefoxxx<em>. \u201cThis silliness is so important to us.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/goldatl.us2.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=1629568b93b4cdd8b1bce89f0&amp;id=96f377b24e&amp;e=964e5dc542\">https:\/\/www.<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/goldatl.us2.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=1629568b93b4cdd8b1bce89f0&amp;id=96f377b24e&amp;e=964e5dc542\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">cssmusic<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/goldatl.us2.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=1629568b93b4cdd8b1bce89f0&amp;id=96f377b24e&amp;e=964e5dc542\">.club\/<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/goldatl.us2.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=1629568b93b4cdd8b1bce89f0&amp;id=c189b9604b&amp;e=964e5dc542\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/goldatl.us2.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=1629568b93b4cdd8b1bce89f0&amp;id=c189b9604b&amp;e=964e5dc542\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">cssmusic<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/goldatl.us2.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=1629568b93b4cdd8b1bce89f0&amp;id=318398a662&amp;e=964e5dc542\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/csssuxxx<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/goldatl.us2.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=1629568b93b4cdd8b1bce89f0&amp;id=7d09ee0981&amp;e=964e5dc542\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CSSSUXXX<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/goldatl.us2.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=1629568b93b4cdd8b1bce89f0&amp;id=a1e341f529&amp;e=964e5dc542\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Spotify<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>The Brazilian band\u00a0CSS\u00a0have announced they will bring their pure, infectious CSS-energy back for their first American tour in 11 years; aptly named\u00a0\u2018IT\u2019S BEEN A NUMBER <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=39849\" title=\"CSS announces 20th anniversary tour\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":39851,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[22,23,25,28,1907],"tags":[300,11446,1245],"class_list":["post-39849","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-guitar-rock","category-indie","category-live","category-music","category-news","tag-css","tag-its-been-a-number-of-years-tour-2024","tag-tour-dates"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/134438EC-0E9F-4617-BDC2-59CE1A9AE710.png?fit=1200%2C799","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2B2TV-amJ","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":40008,"url":"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=40008","url_meta":{"origin":39849,"position":0},"title":"CSS return announce \u2018It&#8217;s Been A Number Of Years Tour 2024\u2019","author":"cultureaddicts","date":"March 30, 2024","format":false,"excerpt":"CSS announce they will bring their pure, infectious energy back for their first UK tour in eleven years; aptly named the \u2018IT\u2019S BEEN A NUMBER OF YEARS TOUR 2024\u2019.
