Background notes
Archive material and source history
Patife Band formed in São Paulo in 1984, playing a mix of punk and ska. Their debut album 'Corredor Polonês' came out the following year, with the title track becoming one of their best-known songs. The lineup included Walter Side on vocals, Nei Dias on guitar, Roberto Birindelli on bass, and Rafael Araújo on drums.
Side's lyrics and stage presence often drew criticism, with some accusing the band of misogyny and homophobia. They kept releasing albums through the late '80s and '90s, including 'Índios' in 1987 and 'Cabeças de Puerco' in 1989. Other songs like 'Chapeuzinho Vermelho' and 'Tô tenso' show their blend of punk energy with ska rhythms.
They put out 'Selvagem' in 1993 and 'Desperdiçando o Tempo' in 2000. The band's catalog reflects their consistent approach to mixing punk with ska, often with provocative lyrics, though they never achieved mainstream acceptance in Brazil.
