WHILE MODELLING IS WHAT THEY DO FOR A LIVING, MUSIC IS WHAT BRINGS THEM TOGETHER. THE BAND’S NAME IS THE ABBREVIATION OF THEIR MOTTO – WE PLAY FOR US. IT’S HOW THEY BEGAN AND HOW THEY’D LIKE TO KEEP THINGS – PURE. THEIR SOUND IS THE COMBINATION OF ROCK AND MPB, THE BRAZILIAN EQUIVALENT OF POP, BUT CLEANER. WHEN REQUIRED THEY ALSO IMPROVISE, LIKE ALL BRAZILIANAS DO, BUT PLEASE DON’T ASK FOR SAMBA OR BOSSA. THEY’D RATHER PERFORM THE DOORS, WITH A TWIST OF SAUDADE.
