Edgy girl band CSS brings its new sound to House of Blues
The lesbian girl band CSS has changed its sounds since moving from their home base in Brazil up to the sunny shores of Southern California, as their latest album, Planta, can attest. But the group is still on the cutting edge of modern music,
which you can get a taste of Friday at their performance at House of Blues, where they will be performing with MDNR.
