Wacce formed in Rio de Janeiro around 2001, with Fernando Badauí on guitar and vocals, Rodrigo Reis on bass, and Pedro Pelotas on drums. They started playing small venues with a raw rock sound that drew from hard rock and punk. Their song 'Bitch Me Ligando' became a national hit in Brazil, though its explicit lyrics about infidelity drew some criticism at the time.
They released their self-titled debut album in 2003, followed by 'Fúria' in 2006 and 'Nação Regueira' in 2008. Their music incorporated elements of reggae and funk alongside their rock foundation. Other songs like 'Chainz' and 'Snake' show their range within this hybrid style.
The band's lineup changed over time. Rodrigo Reis left in 2009, and guitarist Fabio Cadore joined in 2012. Badauí and Pelotas remained constant through these shifts. They collaborated with artists including Seu Jorge, Pitty, and others, though the existing history doesn't specify on which tracks or projects.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
