Between 1995 and 1996, some friends and I would spend hours making music just to have fun, and oh how we had fun.
We made Funk Carioca, Trash Metal, Electronic Axé, Funk Melody, Rock, Punk Metal, Heavy Metal and many other aberrations of nature that I can’t even define what they were. Although they were all made for no reason at all just for laughs, without much care, their quality was better than many paid demos recorded in “professional” studios here in Brazil at the time.

All those who actively participated in the songs were Ricardinho with his crazy voices that he created and his funny jokes embodying Mininu, a character he invented. Gugu always did the second voice, giving the songs a dialogue and good ideas. And I did the rest, as well as the lyrics and sometimes singing.
The days went by and Gugu‘s brother, Dudiabo, started to make small appearances in some songs, doing some higher-pitched voices because he was younger than the guys. And later he ended up re-recording my old song “Hoje Eu Tive Azar” in a very Ratos de Porão version.
Soon after, Bernardo joined as the main vocalist in a song we had recorded a few years ago, “Die or Die”, in a more electronic and equally rotten version. Our last song together was “Paulinha” in 1996, with Sandro doing his vocals.
When I finally mastered everything to publish on the internet, I added a few more aberrations that came through Moskito, some songs with the guys from LucaNet BBS, an old and forgotten version of “Funk do Superman”recorded at Rodrigão‘s house and finishing with “Chupeta’s Rap” from 2001 at the request of my friend rot.
Some songs were relatively successful and were passed on and recorded to friends of friends successively, still on cassette tapes.
The most successful of all was “Windows (Para Quem Precisa!)” which I sang myself. But there were others like the first “Moskito”, “Funk do Eheheh ’96 (Melody Version)” and another with me on vocals, “Tu Vai Morrê!” which ended up having a cover by the band MFS, which you can listen to on Mp3 Here.
Many years later I produced a music video for “Windows (Para Quem Precisa!)”.
If you really liked, you can even purchase the Remastered version with a lot better quality at my Bandcamp.
