Fellini (band)
Fellini was a Brazilian Rock music, rock band formed in São Paulo in 1984 by Cadão Volpato (vocals, harmonica), Jair Marcos (guitar), Ricardo Salvagni (drums and percussion), and former Voluntários da Pátria and Smack (Brazilian band), Smack member Thomas Pappon (bass and occasionally other instruments). One of the most well-known bands of the Brazilian underground scene of the mid-1980s (and having a strong cult following to the present day), Fellini originally began as a straightforward post-punk band influenced by acts such as Joy Division, The Stranglers and The Durutti Column, but would gradually develop a more eclectic sonority that mixed post-punk with other genres such as Música popular brasileira, MPB, New wave music, new wave and samba rock, acquiring a unique, almost non-descript musical style. Fellini was first disestablished in 1990, but re-established in 2002 until ending again in 2010. A further reunion of the band was announced in early 2016. History Fellini ...

The Stranglers
The Stranglers are an English rock band who emerged via the punk rock scene. Scoring 23 UK top 40 singles and 19 UK top 40 albums to date in a career spanning five decades, the Stranglers are one of the longest-surviving bands to have originated in the UK punk scene. Formed as the Guildford Stranglers in Guildford, Surrey, in early 1974, they originally built a following within the mid-1970s pub rock scene. While their aggressive, no-compromise attitude had them identified by the media with the emerging UK punk rock scene that followed, their idiosyncratic approach rarely followed any single musical genre, and the group went on to explore a variety of musical styles, from new wave, art rock and gothic rock through the sophisti-pop of some of their 1980s output. They had major mainstream success with their 1982 single "Golden Brown". Their other hits include " No More Heroes", "Peaches", " Always the Sun", " Skin Deep" and " Big Thing Coming".

Amanhã É Tarde
''Amanhã É Tarde'' (Portuguese for ''Tomorrow's Too Late'') is the fifth studio album by Brazilian band Fellini. It was released on March 4, 2002, by independent ''carioca'' label Midsummer Madness. It is their first album of new material since 1990's '' Amor Louco''. Although it is labeled as a Fellini album, it doesn't feature Jair Marcos and Ricardo Salvagni; as it happened in their 1986 album '' Fellini Só Vive 2 Vezes'', it only features Cadão Volpato and Thomas Pappon. The album's style is a mix between ''Fellini Só Vive 2 Vezes'' and ''Amor Louco'': the instrumentation is minimalist, as in ''2 Vezes'', but light-hearted, varied and reminiscent of MPB, as in ''Amor Louco'' — the track "Besouro" even features a ''berimbau''.
