My man pinaxos at dimeadozen.org recently uploaded some videos of the legendary 1960s Brasilian Os Mutantes (The Mutants) Os Mutantes played a mix of 60s candy pop mixed with Brasilian pop music and a healthy dose of experimentation. I remember first hearing of them in 1997 at the NY music shop "Other Music" which was heavily promoting reissuses of Mutantes albums. These clips are quite good quality for their age, and the band seems quite contemporary and casual. I had never seen any video clips of them, nor thought I would. This was a shame because from the few photos I had seen of them, they seemed to be lively performers with a sense of absurdist humor. Anyway, now I have seen the video, and you can too!
