A Rio de Janeiro alternative rock band that lasted from the late 1990s until their breakup in 2016.
For a good sense of their energy, 'Vamo Com Tudo' and 'Menina Bonita' still hold up. They sound like a band playing in a room, not a studio.
They were one of those Brazilian bands that made punk feel local, not just imported. Songs like 'Menina Bonita' and 'Vida de Putão' had that raw, driving guitar sound, but the lyrics often pointed at social issues around them. They weren't afraid to get a little messy or draw some criticism for it, which kept them from ever sounding too polished.
They formed in Rio in the late '90s and put out their first album in 2000. Four more records followed over the next decade, including 'Larga Vida ao Meu Amanhã' in 2003 and 'Velocidade da Luz' in 2011, before they called it quits in 2016.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
