dUAS sEMicOLCHEIAS iNVERTIDAS

Bio:

It's hard to understand how a band that was born in an incidental and improvised way, baptized first with a symbol and later with a strange and unpronounceable name, which line-up has always been in constant change and that possesses such an odd sound, has managed to survive until now. In fact, it doesn't cease to surprise that dUASsEMIcOLCHEIASiNVERTIDAS still exists and that they continue not to take themselves too seriously.

In six years of intense and frantic activity, during which they inscribed a unique path outside the margins of the portuguese musical scene, dSCi have self-released two EPs (“I” in 2008 and “II” in 2009), a tape through the label A Giant Fern (“SADITREVNiSAIEHCLOcIMEsSAUd“ in 2010) and a LP (“4” in 2012), that was released in a joint venture between two portuguese labels and four italian labels. All of which have been digitally re-released for free download by the netlabel Enough Records.

They've just released a split-tape with Cangarra, once again through the label A Giant Fern and also the concert they gave at Auditório Carlos Paredes (Lisbon) as dOISsEMIciRCUITOSiNVERTIDOS, in a digital edition by Enough Records.

Besides that they participated in many compilations, made six european tours and played more than 270 concerts in the most diverse situations and venues.

And in the midst of all this they still found time to organize dozens of events with portuguese and international acts through their Associação Terapêutica do Ruído (dSCi's siamese twin which is dedicated to promoting DIY concerts and more recently to publishing and distributing records) and also to form other side projects such as: Gan Gan Gan (with the portuguese poet Tiago Gomes), PPCM (with the north-american pianist Thollem Mcdonas), the dj collective Kafunfo noSoundsystem, Cena 28, Aye-Aye, Jabutis, Gee Bees, Catapulta or the Orquestra do Ruído, an orchestra of improvised music!
