They recorded two demos that eventually found their way into the hands of Paulo André, the producer of the Abril Pro Rock festival, in Recife. The band was then invited to perform on one of the biggest alternative music festivals in Brazil, the Superdemo. Their self-titled album, released in 1999, became a huge seller on the back of the hit single Anna Julia. Two less financially successful albums, Bloco do Eu Sozinho (2001) and Ventura (2003), followed, changing the punk-rock that highlighted their debut effort to a softer, more laid-back style. Although those two albums did not sell as much as the first one, they consolidated the band as a cult; mainly because of their so-called clever lyrics and mixture of brazilian rhytmhs with rock. Their newest record, simply titled 4 (four), was released in August, 2005.

2) Los Hermanos is a division closely attached to the urban american underground techno movement "Underground Resistance". Each release has had its own distinct sound, concept and impact. Releases like "Quetzal" and the album "On Another Level" show urban melodic detroit techno on a different level.

Trilha do Album Superfantástico (Quando Eu Era Pequeno)

Ói nós aqui
Ói nós aqui
Hollywood fica
Ali bem perto
Só não vê quem
Tem um olho aberto

Ói nós aqui
Ói nós aqui
Hollywood
É um sonho de cenário
Vi um pau-de-arara
Milionário

E eu que nem sonhava
Conhecer o tal Recife
Pobre saltimbanco
Trapalhão
Hoje sou mocinho
Sou vizinho do xerife
Dou rabo-de-arraia
Em tubarão

Ói nós aqui
Ói nós aqui
Tem de tudo
Nessa Hollywood
Vi um índio
Cheio de saúde

Ói nós aqui
Ói nós aqui
How do you do
Caruaru
I wanna see
Piripipi
Ói nós aqui

Ói nós aqui
Ói nós aqui
Camelôs, malucos
E engraxates
Aproveitem enquanto
O sonho é grátis

Quem há de negar
Que é bom dançar
Que a vida é bela
Neste fabuloso Xanadu
Eu só tenho medo
De amanhã cair da tela
E acordar
Em Nova Iguaçu

Ói nós aqui
Ói nós aqui
How do you do
Banabuiú
I wanna buy
O Paraguai
Hollywood

And me
Ói nós aqui (vixe!)
