Em terras ianques, Rodrigo Amarante é ilustre desconhecido. Lá não existem brigas com repórteres por causa de Anna Júlia, nem tietagem misturando choro a confetes e serpentina. Foi neste contexto anônimo que o blogueiro brasileiro (atualmente vivendo em Seattle), Thiago Hirai, esbarrou com o músico. Depois de um momento de timidez, Thiago decidiu bater um papo com o atual vocalista do Little Joy que, segundo ele, foi super atencioso e coisa e tals. Transcrevo o que foi postado no seu blog, o Gongolin, abaixo:
Last Thursday I watched a couple songs by the Dead Trees and went to the bar to get a beer. We were standing there chatting and Rodrigo Amarante passes by, completely unnoticed. No fan crowd after him, just another guy at the bar. The four of us, all Brazilians, recognized him instantly. A bit afraid at first, we finally gathered courage to ask him to pose for a photo. He was very friendly and sat there talking to us for half an hour, just before their show. He told us that they’ve been on the road for quite a while, crossing the country in a van, carrying their own equipment, booking their own hotels, doing their thing like a small band. Amarante also mentioned Little Joy’s plans to play in Brazil, and said that sometime in 2009 Los Hermanos will get together for a concert, and after that they’ll go to a studio to record their next album.

Yay! The best Brazilian band is getting back together soon!
Uhm, the concert? Yes, that was pretty good too.
Atenção especial para o final do texto. Depois de explicar como o Little Joy tem uma rotina de banda pequena, Amarante afirma que, em algum momento de 2009, Los Hermanos se juntará para uma apresentação e, após isso, eles irão para o estúdio gravar o próximo álbum.
Não opinarei sobre o que eu acho da possível volta da banda. Afinal, quem se importa com o que eu penso, não? Hahahaa. Além disso, tenho grandes dúvidas sobre a sinceridade das palavras do Amarante. Ele sempre foi um fanfarrão e gostou de tirar uma onda. É esperar (e, torcer ou não) para ver o que acontece.
