Banana Gun released the single “Vitrine Viva”, a reinterpretation of one of the classics by the iconic band Ira !.
The track, originally released in 1986, gets a new look through the electrified and post-punk lens of Banana Gun, bringing a dystopian approach that dialogues with the contemporary tensions of hypervisibility and digital superficiality. The band defines itself as a Brazilian Electro Punk Rock band, mixing heavy guitars with loops and synthesizers.
Banana Gun will be the first major virtual Brazilian rock band, delivering a powerful show of sound and visuals revisiting classic punk and Brazilian rock from the 80s such as DeFalla, Ira!, Titãs, Plebe Rude, Gueto, and other Brazilian music classics like Barão Vermelho, Jorge Ben Jor, Pepeu Gomes, and Timbalada .
The choice of “Vitrine Viva” (Living Showcase) was motivated by an uncontrollable urge to create, communicate, and subvert expectations. “Creative compulsion… The will and mental need to always be expanding ideas and realizing concepts,” explains Gun , one of the members of Banana Gun.
For NeXT , the band was born from the quest to revitalize a dormant space in the market: national pop rock, blending influences ranging from Garbage and Chemical Brothers to Prodigy .
