Laranja Irritante came together in São Paulo in the late 1990s, with Giba on vocals. Their sound drew from punk and hardcore, and they built a reputation for energetic shows and lyrics that didn't shy away from social commentary.
In 2001, they released 'Hei, Maçã,' a song that connected strongly with young listeners in Brazil. Its catchy chorus and defiant tone made it a kind of anthem, and it became a major hit. Other songs like 'Kitchen Intruder' and 'To-ma-te' followed, continuing their run of sharp, energetic tracks.
Their lyrics sometimes got them into trouble with censors, who accused them of promoting violence. This led to occasional bans from radio or venues, but the band kept working. They put out several albums, including 'A Vida Não Presta' in 2002 and 'Lavagem Cerebral' in 2005.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
