Notes: The Brazilian Band Called Inimigos da HP (Translation: Enemies of HP)

11:35PM Brian Lam | On my last day in São Paulo, the good people we were working with on an upcoming Portuguese version of Giz with took us to some nightclub with an open roof and lots of beautiful younger people dancing and making out. Anyhow, here’s the gadget party of this story: There was a band there playing called Inimigos da HP, or Enemies of HP. Yes, that HP. Apparently the members started playing together in college, but are mostly former engineers and industrial designers who were forced in their previously not-rockstar life to use HP calcs every day. I like their music. Now I’m in Rio, taking a long weekend. Going to the beach. I should have played more Wii Fit. [Wiki, Amazon] More »
