Camisa de Vênus

Camisa de Vênus formed in São Paulo in the early 1980s, with Marcelo Nova on vocals, Karl Nehring on guitar, Robson Jorge on bass, and Aldo Lamberti on drums. Their first album came out in 1983, followed by records like 'Batalhões de Estranhos' in 1984 and 'Correndo o Risco' in 1985. Songs like 'Simca Chambord' and 'À Ferro e Fogo' became part of their set, mixing rock with lyrics that sometimes drew criticism for being provocative.

Their track 'Sílvia' turned into something of an anthem, with Nova's delivery and the ambiguous lyrics leading to various interpretations about love or social issues. The band kept recording through the late '80s and into the '90s, putting out albums such as 'Quem É Você?' in 1987 and 'Só Pro Meu Prazer' in 1990. Other songs like 'A Gente É Sem Vergonha' and 'O Que Eu Tenho De Fazer?' showed their straightforward rock approach.

By the early '90s, they released 'Noite de Temporal' in 1992. While their music occasionally stirred debate, it found an audience in Brazil's rock scene. The band's work from that period, including tracks like 'Só o Fim' and 'Mão Católica', remains part of what listeners remember from that era.
