[edit] Cansei de Ser Sexy
His latest and most famous band is the indie-electro project Cansei de Ser Sexy. In 2003, Adriano formed the group with some friends as a joke. He writes many of their songs, plays the drums and produces the band, besides eventually playing bass, guitar and singing. Cansei de Ser Sexy was signed to indie label Sub Pop in the beginning of 2006 to release their first international album, and have toured the U.K., the U.S., and Canada extensively, opening for acts including Ladytron, Klaxons, Gwen Stefani and playing on the "Mojave" stage at Coachella 2007.[3] They also headlined the Park Stage of the Glastonbury Festival of 2008.[4] Currently they are working on their 3rd album to be released in 2011.[citation needed] On November 11, 2011, Cintra reported leaving the band due to disagreements with other band members.[5] Members' musical incompetence may have been another reason for his departure.[6]
