UHF - Cavalo de Corrida

Hi, everyone!

Today is "Sons do Fundo" first post in english, so I hope you all enjoy.

To start in a brilliant way, i've brought one of the greatest punk-rock bands of Portugal - "UHF" with Cavalo de Corrida.

"UHF" is a Portuguese rock band formed in Almada in the late 70's, more precisely in 1978, and the initial formation was composed of Américo Manuel (drums), Carlos Perez (bass guitar), Renato Gomes (guitar) and António Manuel Ribeiro (vocals, guitar).

The first concert of the group was on November 20th in 1978, and through out the years they've played with bands as "Elvis Costello & The Attractions", "Dr. Feelgood", "Tourists" and "Ramones".

In 1981, "UHF" gave 138 concerts. They were a major contributor to the boom of the "portuguese rock" in the early 80's because until then, the Portuguese publishers did not believe in rock bands that sing in Portuguese, and to tell the truth, the young Portuguese preferred the music sung in English.http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

On November 24th, 2007, "UHF" celebrated its thirtieth anniversary with a concert at the nightclub Swell at Costa da Caparica.

The concert also marked the pre-release of a second disc of rarities.

So, watch the video! Awesome music garanteed!
