Nancy are are a six-piece band hailing from Brazil, which may or may not be 2009's Camden Town. But that doesn't matter, especially if you look at how their upcoming album, Chora Matisse!, was born.The band's first full-length is the work of exchanged e-mails, late night AIM action, swapping Garage Band vocals, guitar parts, and a couple of transatlantic flights. While Camila (the woman in the picture) carried her laptop from Uruguay to London, Praxis wore flip-flops to work almost everyday in Rio de Janeiro. Months later, they regrouped for two weeks of staying-up-all-night recording sessions in Brasília, Brazil's modernist capital.

Since debuting a couple of the tracks online in January on the new RCRD LBL website, the band has been featured by BBC Radio, Uncut.co.uk, The Guardian Music Blog, USA Today and several other music blogs. Nancy has also been invited to play Austin's South by Southwest Music Conference (SXSW) and now plans their first US tour next February. Recently, the band has been selected by Motorola to play its Motomix Festival, alongside Metric, The Go! Team and Fujiya & Miyagi. Nancy also played Brazil's biggest rock festival, Porão do Rock, on August 2nd, sharing the stage with British act Muse.
