Don't know much about them (after a search that's what i got!)
They are a indie rock band created in 2007, from Setubal. The band consists of João Rodrigues (vocals + rhythm guitar), Nuno Cunha (lead guitar + backing vocals), Gustavo Andrade (bass guitar) and André Rosa (drums + percussion). In 2009 they began their most busy year so far. After winning a regional garage band, they recorded a mini album in London with Producer Harvey Birrell. While mixing the album, they participated on the Supajam "Fast track to Heineken FIB" with more then 900 other bands and over 1600 tracks. The Doups got surprised when they get into the Top 40 and than Top 5 finalists. Made a show with the other bands that were competing. The band was rewarded with free passes for the 2009 Benicassim Festival with everything taken care of. After the concert in London, they made a small and promotional FNAC tour in Portugal and also played in The Rockone Festival, supporting the Offspring. Their selected track "Try Lie Die Whatever" was released on iTunes and by the end of that year they supported Franz Ferdinand, on their portuguese gig at Campo Pequeno, Lisbon. Nowadays they are still unsigned, but with some north american shows already booked.
I got really interested on these guys, they seem pretty cool and talented! I really enjoyed them.
