Banda Lascaux formed in São Paulo in the early 2000s around singer-songwriter Marcos Pinheiro and guitarist Edu Gomes. They came up playing punk and hardcore, and their first album, 'Ode ao Caos,' came out in 2004. The record had a raw, abrasive sound and lyrics that dealt with social inequality and political corruption.
Their song 'Fode o Meu Coração Com a Língua' drew a lot of attention for its explicit lyrics and a music video that featured a simulated sex act. Conservative groups in Brazil condemned it, but the band defended it as a commentary on hypocrisy around sexuality. Other songs like 'Algo Se Perdeu' and 'Doce Ruim' show their range within that confrontational style.
They built a loyal following in São Paulo's underground scene, playing to fans who responded to their unfiltered approach.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
