We really hope you got to see Garotas Suecas live during there US tour last month. All reports point to the whole enterprise being a great success and we look forward to them coming back very soon. As a good friend of ours said about the band's live show, "They are the best Brazilian Brit-pop/60's soul hybrid band around!"

Now, just because the band has returned to their beloved Brazil, it doesn't mean that we can't share in some continued celebration ourselves.

If you order the band's recently released debut album, Escaldante Banda, right here through the American Dust website, you'll receive a free copy of their single "Codinome Dinamite" and a limited edition poster featuring the amazing album cover. This offer applies to either a purchase of a CD or LP (the LP version also includes a copy of the album on CD). The 7" and poster are both limited, so be sure to order soon.

The band also received a ton of great press during their tour. Here are some of the highlights:

- NPR First Listen

- KEXP blog Bumbershoot live review

- insightful review from the Chicago Reader

- NJ.com interview

- Time Out Chicago

- Spin magazine
