“Battle Cry”, “Redwood Porch” and “Wally” were the breakthrough singles that guaranteed the duo automatic entry into the playlists of several national radio stations and recorded a notable performance on digital. BOLERO is performed live for the first time on April 7th at the Academia Dramática Familiar 1º de Novembro de 1898, in Pedrouços, Lisbon.
Pedro Branco is a guitarist from the outskirts with a suburban appearance but with a lot of outsider life in his fingers. He started in the garage, moved on to jazz and now finds himself in neutral territory, trying to find a life between the bandit song and the straightforward lyrics. Tape Junk is the real-life character of João Correia. His albums tell heady stories of invented cowboys and a life that he didn’t ask to happen, but that since he’s here, he’s at least trying something between the fortuitous and self-proclaimed misery. Between the two there are collaborations and performances with people as diverse as Jorge Palma, Fausto Bordalo Dias, Lena D’Água, Tiago Bettencourt, Bruno Pernadas, Benjamim and a lot of other people. They took away their money and the opportunity to do a nice name-dropping in bios, but also a lot of life and experience to better understand what they have to say.
