DLC (Dead Little Chicken) – is a rock'n'roll band from São Paulo, formed in 2008 by Fernando Ferrari (vocals and guitar), Andre Kbelo (guitar), McKoy (bass), and Eduardo Perucci (drums). Their lyrics, in Portuguese, portray everyday life in the broadest sense of human interaction. Their first single, "Nenhum Passo Para Trás" (No Step Back), was released in March 2014.
JOHNNYBOX – Formed in 2011, their compositions blend the groove of Funk with the heaviness of Hard Rock. They participated in important festivals in the São Paulo scene such as Manifesto Rock Fest and Café Aurora Fest Rock, winning both in 2013. They also participated in FICO (Festival do Colégio Objetivo), winning in the "Original Composition" category and receiving the "Best Band of the Festival" award. Also in 2013, JOHNNYBOX opened for the international artist, former Skid Row vocalist Sebastian Bach, at Carioca Club/SP. They released their first album, DEEP INSIDE JERRY'S MIND, in 2013/14.
PULLDOWN – Niper Boaventura (vocals and guitar), Cassique Derenji (guitar), Gabê Almeida (drums), and Anderson Bosco (bass) form PullDown, an alternative metal band formed in the city of Erechim, Rio Grande do Sul, in 2000. The group, which has undergone recent changes in its lineup, has been based in São Paulo since 2008 and represents a branch of heavy metal that gained much popularity in the early 1990s. With an aggressive and incisive sound, provocative and realistic lyrics, PullDown draws from the same sources as bands like Metallica, Black Sabbath, Sepultura, Pantera, Down, and Red Fang.
SIOUX 66 – Without chasing market trends, Igor Godoi (vocals), Fernando Mika and Bento Mello (guitars), Fabio Bonnies (bass), and Gabriel Haddad (drums) joined forces in 2011 with the goal of playing Rock'n'Roll. For them, it matters little whether Ramones is considered Punk, Guns N' Roses, Aerosmith, and Kiss are Hard Rock, or Alice Cooper is the father of Shock Rock. The objective of Sioux 66, currently touring their debut album, "Diante do Inferno" (Facing Hell), is to recapture the groove and put into practice the attitude of their influences. All this while singing loud and clear Portuguese.
