1. Brazil was a six-man progressive punk group based in Muncie, Indiana. Brazil's style was at the same time psychedelic and intense in nature, conjuring up delicious imagery of sinister sci-Fi scenery with perhaps a dash of post-modernist philosophy thrown in for extra flavor.
The band was originally called "London". When learning that London had been the name of the first incarnation of Motley Crue, they then changed name to Brazil, staying on a geographic theme (also inspired by from Terry Gilliam's 1985 sci-Fi movie of the same name). Their sci-Fi themes and imagery may also be attributed to this same inspiration.
Brazil was also (for unknown reasons) fond of using French phrases and lines in their lyrics. Jonathan Newby's vocals, which are reminiscent of At The Drive-In/The Mars Volta's Cedric Bixler-Zavala's, often seem to have an unexpected French accent. Tours supporting acts such as Coheed and Cambria, Sparta, MeWithoutYou, Say Anything, Rainier Maria and Forgive Durden solidify the band in the modern rock soundescape.
Brazil has released officially "Dasein" (EP-Fearless Records), "A Hostage and The Meaning of Life" (Fearless Records) and most recently 2006's "The Philosophy of Velocity" on Immortal Records.
The band plan to release a final "post-mortem" ep release of 3 new tracks, 4 reworked versions of older songs and a live track as a digital download this fall titled "Ere I Am J.H." This release will be the flagship release on Newby's homespun label Elefant & Haus.
The final lineup of the band was: Jonathan Newby (vocals, Moog synthesizer, original drummer), Eric Johnson and Aaron Smith (guitars), Nic Newby (keyboards), Phillip Williams (bass), and James Sefchek (drums). The band had at least 8 drummers over time, including Nater Kane and others who were pulled in for tour support.
2. Brazil was an emotive hardcore/punk band from Iowa City that included Matt Davis on vocals/guitars from The Vidablue and Ten Grand.
3. Brazil were a rock band from Leeds, UK active circa 1999-2002. The group released the six-track 'This Is Future Wave' E.P., including songs such as "Pornstar" and "Flatline", followed by the Eatitfightitfuckit E.P. featuring the tracks "School Daze", "Sister Volume", "Charmed" and "Razor Queen", both in 2001.
4. Brazil was a Darkwave/Synth Pop/New wave band from Sisak, active in Yugoslavia in the 80's.

I saw an old man singing this at the back of a meat market in Tijuana back in 1996. Recorded it, used to listen to it all the time. The singer's wife used an old meat slicer as the percussion, playing along with this samba on the guitar in such a melodic way, the steel reverberated the chicken drumsticks hits so beautifully. As I sat eating hot dog spaghettios out of the can I thought to myself, there must be life on other planets...
