Following news that all was not well in camp Bonde do Role, it wasn’t long before the Brazilian party agents called off their Australian tour. Now it transpires that the internal turmoil is down to the departure of the magnetic MC Marina Vello.
In a MySpace announcement titled “super ultra important announcement”, DJ Rodrigo Gorky (the man to originally drop the potential break-up bombshell) and Pedro D’eyrot fessed up:
“Due to several internal problems between us, we had to cancel a lot of our shows from the European tour, and we also had to cancel the scheduled Australian tour (everyone knew how excited we were about it!). For that we’re really really sorry.
“And we also announce that Marina is no longer with us, due to these internal problems. We wish her all the best in whatever she decides to do with her future, and she can always count on us as friends. We are working these issues [out] right now as we speak, and we hope we can make it up to everyone who we let down this year, in the most awesome way we can!”
An official statement by the group’s PR made it more explicit.
“Following the departure of Marina from the band, it is with great regret that Bonde do Role have had to cancel their Australian tour.
“The band will no longer be continuing with the same format, and remaining members Pedro and Gorky are currently working hard to recruit a new member. Bonde do Role have had an incredible year and have been through some unforgettable experiences together, and still remain friends.”
So Bonde do Role goes on, but not as we know it…
