Old Aça - the pre-history
The name ACIDENTE refers to 2 different groups, each one in its own
time and with very different styles. The first ACIDENTE (1978-1987),
here called OLD AÇA, resulted from a fusion between the trio
BANDA SÓ POR UMA NOITE (1974-1977), which featured Paulo
Malária (piano), Guto Rolim (bass) and Zeca Pereira (drums), and
the band LEVIATHAN, where played Helio 'Scubi" Jenné (guitars)
and Raul Branco (drums). Acidente in its first appearing (1978) was
Malária, Scubi, Guto and Raul. During the following 2 years
there were several changings, Scubi and Mala remaining the only
constant members. But in 1981, when the band recorded their 1st LP 'GUERRA CIVIL',
the line-up was again almost the original, with Paulo Malária on
keyboards, Helio 'Scubi' Jenné and Fernando 'Samuca' Sá
on guitars, Guto Rolim on bass and Zeca Pereira on drums, plus guest
musicians. At the end of that year Samuca left the group and, although
1982 would show other members, in 1983 the quartet Zeca-Guto-Scubi-Mala
was again ACIDENTE, to record the 2nd LP 'FIM DO MUNDO', once more featuring guest stars. And still was this quartet who made the 7' 'PIOLHO'
in 1985. After this, environment for indie rock bands was harsher each
time and in 1987 the original ACIDENTE disbanded. All the 31 tracks
left by OLD AÇA are garage rock and samelikes (blues, ballads
etc.), without any trace of instrumental music or prog influences that
would stand for NEW AÇA.
