Capitão Fausto lançam novo trabalho "Pesar o Sol"

Os jovens Capitão Fausto lançaram no final do mês de janeiro, o segundo trabalho Pesar o Sol.

Dia 6 de fevereiro e dia 22 do mesmo mês, foram os dias escolhidos para os espectáculos de lançamento, respectivamente no Lux (em Lisboa) e no Hard Club (no Porto).
Com o apoio da FNAC, quem comprar o disco tem direito à entrada num dos concertos - pode ser adquirido em fnac.pt ou em qualquer loja FNAC.

Depois de Célebre Batalha de Formariz e Maneiras Más, Litoral é o terceiro single retirado deste segundo disco.

Litoral tem um toque muito moderno dos áureos rock português dos anos 80, um gosto a pureza e simplicidade que compõem de forma bastante concisa a canção. Melodias fortes, com um passeio bonito pelo orgulho de ser Português.

Capitão Fausto são um excelente presságio para a música Portuguesa.

Entrevista // Com Salto

Promoting their debut record, for those who don't know, Salto are a Portuguese band created in 2007 by Guilherme Tomé Ribeiro, Luis Montenegro and Tito Romão.

We described Salto as "Full of personality and freshness from people with early twenties" and gladly that's all confirmed, as you can see on this very relaxed and revealing interview, where they share their story, their dreams and especially their sweetness. But let the interview speak for itself.
First hand information: Salto are performing on Fnac Chiado, next July 30 around 7pm. Don't miss their invitation and the opportunity to see them live!

[Special thanks to Salto for their sweetness, kindness and awesomeness, Maria Lopes for handling all the crazy conversation and for being so nice and to Raquel Lains for everything]

Later this year he might release his first record.

His first video 3tempos was directed by Ben Monteiro - three different concepts, three different Alex's and three takes. The video was produced, filmed and edited in three days so it really fits the song's title.
On this video Alex shows three versions of himself and his simplicity makes it work.

"Lentamente sussuras-me ao ouvido

Enchendo-me de ti

Deixando-me vazio

Estás tão bela em cetim"
