A punk band from the late '70s whose name and songs challenged censorship and corruption.
For their sound, try 'Baader-meinhof Blues Nº 1.' For their blunt political edge, 'Que País É Este' still lands hard.
They formed in 1978 with a name that translates to 'Electric Abortion,' a deliberate provocation from the start. Their songs like 'Que País É Este' tackled political corruption and sexuality in underground clubs where police raids were common. They kept writing anyway, releasing albums like 'O Beijo da Morte' in 1979 and 'Psicose' in 1985.
The band started with Rodrigo Novaes on vocals, Juba on guitar, Fabio on bass, and Zé Antônio on drums. Later members included guitarists Clemente and Leoni, bassist Marcão, and drummers Alê and Carlos. They put out three albums and songs like 'Baader-meinhof Blues Nº 1' and 'O Que Eu Quero' over those years.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
