A Brazilian band from the late '70s that mixed Led Zeppelin's force with local rock's spirit.
For their mix of local bite and rock weight, start with 'Você não sabe da missa um terço' and 'Geórgia.'
They came out of São Paulo with a sound that didn't fit neatly into any scene, built on João Gordo's rasp and a heavy rhythm section. Their early song 'Você não sabe da missa um terço' got them banned in some places for criticizing religious hypocrisy. Tracks like 'Geórgia' and 'Catador de papelão' show they kept that raw, driving energy across albums into the 2000s.
They formed in the late 1970s, pulling from both Led Zeppelin and Brazilian acts like Os Mutantes. Their self-titled album arrived in 1985, followed by records like 'Saca Rolha' and 'O Mundo Não Gosta de Ninguém' through the '90s. They kept recording with albums like 'Nunca Fui Santo' and 'A Volta do Jacaré' without softening their approach.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
