Background notes
Archive material and source history
Expresso Blues formed in São Paulo in 1989, led by Rubinho Barreto. Their debut album 'Álcool' gave them an early hit with its title track, a song that became something of an anthem. The band's straightforward blues-rock sound and lyrics that didn't shy away from drinking themes found an audience, even as it drew some criticism.
They kept recording through the late 90s and 2000s, putting out albums like 'Dois Dedos de Tequila' and 'Volume 3 - A Estrada'. Songs like 'Ela Vai Passar' and 'Lado A Lado Na Noite' show their style, direct, guitar-driven, and grounded in blues feeling rather than polish. They also released a live album from Rio's Circo Voador in 2007.
While their music celebrated a certain kind of nightlife, it was the uncomplicated delivery that stuck. They were a bar band that made records, and for a stretch in Brazil, that was enough.
