While Brazil's Bonde do Role's first album for Domino is still a while away, the band has released some treats in the meantime, like the "Gasolina" remix we brought you a couple weeks back, and now their first video on the new label.

They do a comical version of an alleyway cock fight (is there any other kind?) in their video for upcoming single "Solta O Frango". The single, which drops March 20, is short and simple, and pretty sample-free-- just a four-note keyboard line over a hip-shaking drum machine beat. The video stays simple too-- what looks to become a bloody cock fight (people circle around and place their bets), turns out to be a human cock fight instead.

The opponents are complete opposites: one is skinny and pale, while the other is tanned and has male breasts that could hold a pencil. Both look equally ridiculous dressed up as chickens, pawing and slapping at each each other until both collapse from exhaustion, unbloodied and unbruised. Weirdly, Bonde do Role are only a minor part of this video, content to play supporting roles (and backup dancers) to their Brazilian co-stars.
