New Aça - the progressive trip
As OLD AÇA was fading, keyboardist and producer Paulo Malária
thought of quitting music at all. But when the group finally ceased to
exist, he was alrteady playing with Nilopolis-based band THE LIRIOS and soon after with Jad Maroja's ESTADO INTERESSANTE. In these bands he met a lot of great musicians, among whose guitarist Zunga Ezzaet, bassist Jarbas Loop and drummers Bruno Mega and Mario Costa.
So, in 1989, there was the quartet Jarbas-Bruno-Zunga-Mala, still
nameless after many rehearsals, creating an instrumental, 70's
prog-driven repertory. Without opposition of Old Aça's members, the
group was called ACIDENTE once more (from now on, NEW AÇA).
They
recorded the LP 'EM CASO DE ACIDENTE... QUEBRE ESTE DISCO', released
December 1989 (dated 1990). Two years later, Bruno left the band, being
replaced by Mario Costa, and ACIDENTE recorded its first CD,
'GLOOMLAND', released early 1994. Another line-up switch followed:
Jarbas turned gospel and Ary Menezes took the bass. It was the time of
'FARAWAYERS', the band's 1996 album. All these records had been
released on Stolen Records, Mala's label. In 1999 Rock Symphony label's
owner Leo Nahoum shown interest in releasing 'QUEBRE ESTE DISCO' on CD,
and this happened the next year, the album enhanced by specially
created bonus tracks (Expo Rock 2000 Supplement). Zunga had departed by
then. Good results brought a brand new production, this time labeled by
a powerful partnership Rock Symphony - Musea Records (France),
featuring new guitarist Renato Borges. In the lunch time,
Renato-Ary-Mario-Malaria plus founder co-member Scubi Jenné called
themselves PEGA VARETAS and recorded a nice CD ('MEU PAU DE SEBO',
2003), bringing back the rocking spirit of ACIDENTE's early days. As
Renato decided to leave, the band is presently composing and rehearsing
as a trio (Mario-Ary-Mala), attempting to release this new disc still
in 2005.
