A very
popular brazilian
Rock and Roll band formed by
Arnaldo Antunes,
Nando Reis,
Paulo Miklos,
Toni Belotto and others in the early 80´s. The mixture of pop, reggae and rock rhythms marked their first two albums - "
Titãs (1984)" and "
Televisão (1985)" - that launched some pop hits like "
Sonífera Ilha", "
Televisão" e "
Insensível".
The public and critics unanimity was reached by the band with the "Hard" Rock album "Cabeça Dinossauro (1986)" followed by the excellent "Jesus não Tem Dentes no País dos Banguelas(1987)", "Go Back (1988)" and "Õ Blésq Blom (1989)". After the almost "experimental" "Tudo Ao Mesmo Tempo Agora (1991)" the band lost Arnaldo Antunes that started a solo career.
The 90´s watched the band drift between grunge, ballads and "MTV Acoustic" works, that varied heavilly in quality but the band continued to have a huge following between rock fans, selling millions of copies and putting the band side to side with other top Brazilian rock bands, like "Paralamas do Sucesso" and "Sepultura".
