Titanomaquia
''Titanomaquia'' (''Titanomachy'') is the seventh album released by Brazilian rock band Titãs, released on 10 July 1993. All songs are credited to the band as a whole (except for three tracks co-credited to the just-departed Arnaldo Antunes), as it happened in the previous album, '' Tudo Ao Mesmo Tempo Agora''. Also, it marks the first time Jack Endino worked with them, the only foreign one they ever worked with. Until December 1994, it had sold 125,000 copies in Brazil and 3,500 in Argentina. Background Arnaldo Antunes's departure Between the previous album ('' Tudo ao Mesmo Tempo Agora'') and this one, vocalist Arnaldo Antunes announced his departure of the band, which caught the members off guard. Vocalist and bassist Nando Reis would later say that this separation would plant a seed in him that would later become his own will to leave, as well. According to him, guitarist Marcelo Fromer also expressed a wish to leave back then. Reis would also say that it was in this albu ...

Domingo (Titãs Album)
''Domingo'' ''(Sunday)'' is the eighth studio album released by Brazilian rock band Titãs. The album became a gold record in Brazil. It is the second Titãs album produced by Jack Endino. Context and production ''Domingo'' came after a period of solo projects by most of the band's members. Vocalists Branco Mello and Sérgio Britto (the latter also being the keyboardist) had released ''Con el Mundo a Mis Pies'' under their project Kleiderman; the also vocalists Paulo Miklos and Nando Reis (the latter also being the bassist) had experienced their solo debuts (''Paulo Miklos'' and ''12 de Janeiro'', respectively) and guitarist Tony Bellotto had published his first book, ''Bellini e a Esfinge''. The solo releases were of different styles and exposed the fact that Titãs was formed by different minds and ideas. The band itself admits the albums always ended up leaving a member disappointed. Bellotto didn't felt represented by the electronic elements of ''Õ Blésq Blom''. Reis only s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Titãs
Titãs () are a Brazilian rock band from São Paulo. Though they basically play pop/alternative rock, their music has touched a number of other styles throughout their 30-year career, such as new wave, punk rock, grunge, MPB and electronic music. They are one of the most successful rock bands in Brazil, having sold more than 6.3 million albums as of 2005 and having been covered by several well-known Brazilian artists and a couple of international singers. They were awarded a Latin Grammy in 2009 and have won the Imprensa Trophy for Best Band a record four times. Titãs started with a rather unusual line-up of nine members (including six lead vocalists): Nando Reis (bass guitar, vocals), Branco Mello (vocals), Marcelo Fromer (Rhythm guitar), Arnaldo Antunes (vocals), Tony Bellotto (Lead guitar), Paulo Miklos (sax, mandolin, harmonica, vocals), André Jung (drums), Sérgio Britto (keyboards, vocals) and Ciro Pessoa (vocals).

Tudo Ao Mesmo Tempo Agora
''Tudo Ao Mesmo Tempo Agora'' (''Everything at the Same Time Now'') is the sixth album by Brazilian rock band Titãs, released on 23 September 1991 via Warner and produced by the band itself, which also, for the first time, is credited as a whole for the songwriting and arrangements, instead of crediting individual members. It is also their last album to feature vocalist Arnaldo Antunes, who left the group the year after. It marks another musical shift for the band, which now returned to a more straight-forward rock with aggressive and even scatological lyrics, as in "Isso Para Mim É Perfume" and "Saia de Mim". Due to such lyrics, the album did not immediately please critics nor fans, who showed little enthusiasm towards it. Production Context and recordings The album came after a fruitful period for the band, which had released the successful ''Õ Blésq Blom'' and returned from a performance at the second edition of Rock in Rio. After rehearsing at guitarist Marcelo Fromer' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Charles Gavin
Charles de Souza Gavin (born July 9, 1960) is a Brazilian drummer and music producer, perhaps best known for his 25-year tenure with rock band Titãs. Before Titãs, he had brief stints at Ira! and RPM. Early life and first works At age 8, his friends invited him to participate on the September 7 ( Brazil's Independence Day) festival. The problem was the absence of decent percussion instruments. So, the school decided to improvise these with kitchen utensils. But there was still an instrument remaining, which would be quite difficult for a not so skillful drummer to play. Gavin, who was already used to beat the table at school, was chosen for the job. The band, commanded by Gavin, won the originality prize. In 1975, at the year of 15, living in Jabaquara, Gavin joined ten neighbors, and during the weeks that preceded the Carnaval, they promoted noisy beats around the streets. However, his ears were focused on the discs of Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Emerson, Lake & Palmer. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Nirvana (band)
Nirvana was an American rock band formed in Aberdeen, Washington, in 1987. Founded by lead singer and guitarist Kurt Cobain and bassist Krist Novoselic, the band went through a succession of drummers, most notably Chad Channing, before recruiting Dave Grohl in 1990.
