Damn Laser Vampires -- Ronaldo Selistre, voice & guitar; Francis K, guitar; and Michel Munhoz, drums -- are a post-punk trio that brings elements such as polka, psychobilly, and new wave into a strange ground. Born in 2005 in the cold Porto Alegre city, south of Brazil, they made their debut with the independent EP "The Devil Is a Preacher", which immediately catched the attention of alternative media and brought a new colour to the local underground musical scene. In their first two years of life, the southern Vampires -- who are also illustrators and sort of a videomaker team -- has printed a trademark on south-brazilian alternative universe. They've travelled through the country and played in important rock n' roll festivals, like Goiania Noise (Brazil's main indie festival); jumped to the pages of the brazilian Rolling Stone magazine; put four tracks in the soundtrack of the new Gustavo Spolidoro's film "Ainda Orangotangos" ("Still Orangutans", which is going to be released this year, after having completed its current successful participation in international cinema festivals in countries like Netherlands and Canada), and now release their first 13 track album, "GOTHAM BEGGARS SYNDICATE", through Devil's Ruin Records.
