Originally from various groups in their native Brazil, the duo of guitarist Henrique Laurindo, a fanzine editor, and drummer Renato Tezolin formed the band in early 2000. The group, known for performing their own English songs in their motherland, gained popularity with a television appearance on Curitiba, a Brazilian variety show. In 2000, the group recorded various demos which, through their contacts, ended up evolving into their debut effort, Dressed Up You Better Feel the Sun on Planting Seeds Records. The group continued to tour their native country as well as other parts of the world. ~ Jason MacNeil
