Click above player to hear "Mix It Up" from MegaRex

                

 

MegaRex is a Brazilian Rock Band comprised of Flavio Marchesin (voice, bass, keys), Tibira (guitars and vocals) and Paulinho Barizon (drums). While the band's core sound is a form of modern rock, MegaRex also incorporates different styles such as Brazilian folk elements, Indian chants, electronic music and other surprising musical twists. The lyrics are humorous and the same upbeat and tongue-in-cheek approach is present in their live performance.

MegaRex has achieved great success in the Brazilian market with their first (self-entitled) CD. This album was recorded in Portuguese and "PortuSpanish" - a funny mix of Brazilian Portuguese and Spanish, and with this album Megarex played to large audiences all over Brazil.

Besides having competed in the largest and most acclaimed songwriting contests in Brazil, with performances broadcast to all country, Megarex was praised by critics and highly regarded in the media with their song "Misturada".

Megarex's music videos and songs were, altogether, downloaded and viewed by more than 200.000 fans in less than one year, a very substantial number for the Brazilian independent music market.

MegaRex is now recording their new album in English, named "Recyclable Data", which is being produced by Jamie Siegel (who has worked with Smashing Pumpkins, Joss Stone, Lauryn Hill among others).

With only a demo of 4 songs MegaRex was chosen (among more than 10.000 entries) to play in London in Oct 2009 at the British Music Week, where the band took 3rd place! MegaRex was also chosen to perform at South by Southwest 2010 in Austin, TX.

MegaRex's concerts are an explosive combination of sounds and images. The band interacts with animated characters on screen. The most interesting act is the "virtual duel", in which the drummer competes with his own virtual character on screen (see video below)

Megarex is funny, witty and has thought-provoking lyrics that have gained recognition in the independent world in Brazil and now is eager to explore the international scene.
