Background notes
Archive material and source history
Bill formed in Rio de Janeiro in 1985 with Bernardo Vilhena on vocals and guitar, Fábio Lessa on bass, and José Carlos Capinan on drums. Their self-titled debut album came out in 1989, but it was the 1991 follow-up 'Meu Nome Não É Johnny' that really connected. The single 'História do Fulano' from that album became a national hit, its lyrics touching on social hypocrisy and identity.
Their music drew from rock, MPB, and reggae, and they kept recording through the 1990s and 2000s. They worked with other artists like Caetano Veloso and Chico Buarque. Other songs in their catalog include 'Nova Era' and 'Pro-Knife Skill'.
