Autoramas

The Autoramas are a Brazilian surf/Garage rock/Garage punk/Rockabilly band that started in the late 90s and continue playing to this day.   The Autoramas formed in 1997 when Gabriel Thomaz (guitarist and vocalist) moved to Rio de Janeiro and got together with Bacalhau (drummer) and Simone (bass player). Their music is a mixture of surf music from the 60s, with New Wave from the 80s and the energy of Punk Rock.   They released their first album, Stress, Depressão & Síndrome do Pânico, in 2000. Songs from this CD were played on radios throughout the country as well as MTV Brazil. They toured throughout all of Brazil including performing at Rock in Rio III.   Their second album, Vida Real, was released at the end of 2001, which resulted in another national tour as well as an international tour in Japan- where a compilation called Full Speed Ahead was released.   2003 marked the release of their third album, Nada Pode Parar os Autoramas with the hit Você Sabe. In 2004 they toured in Argentina, Uruguay and Chile.   In 2007 they toured Europe and released their 4th album, Teletransporte.
