Formed in 2009 the Brazilian indie-punk quintet, Some Community, who once called itself a girl group now finds itself with a much stronger lineup. Although the three original ladies, Veronica Vacaro (Keys), Juliana Vacaro (vocals), and Gabriela Gonzalez (guitar), are still stealing the spotlight, they're now accompanied by two strong gentlemen.
In late 2010, Marco Frugiuele joined the band and brought the weight of drums that conjure up thoughts of war hymns. Lastly, Bernard Simon joined the band in late 2011 and with him came an overabundance of creative bass lines, and in some moments, face-melting guitar riffs. The chaotic energy that blooms when Some Community is united as one on a stage is like a cactus covered in flowers that are surprisingly beautiful. In the band's hometown of São Paulo, they have played with bands such as Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti, Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Cut Copy and Howler.
