BILLYGOAT

Genre(s): Stoner

Formed in Rio de Janeiro - RJ, 1997. Emerged in 1997 and Influenced initially by Kyuss, Monster Magnet and Fu Manchu, bands that later came to be labeled or Stoner Metal Stoner Rock, BillyGoat (Bode hillside) deepened in the prophecies of Black Sabbath, Blue Cheer, Mountain, Hawkwind congeners and other heavy rock of the seventies, creating symbolic music, heavy laden Groovies, spatial effects, side and supersonic. The initial formation of the band was Luciano (Lucky) on vocals, J. Antunes on bass, Bebeto Daroz Leo Conan on guitar and the drums. Involved with his other band, Bebeto left BillyGoat few months later and was replaced by Alexandre Sissi. The band followed the trials and composition scheme coming to perform a few times, including a festival in Teresopolis and a show at the Garage (RJ), both with the band Evil Engine that along with BillyGoat represented the national Stoner. In the first quarter of 1998 the band broke up in the middle of a hurricane involving an automobile accident that pinned J. Antunes (bassist) for a few months. Essays lost, missing gigs, musicians dissatisfied and lack of fuel (grana!) to continue the journey to the center of the Earth longed for BillyGoat made the banda hibernasse. In June 2002, motivated by the growing strength of the Stoner scene, Luciano, Bebeto and J. Antunes began talking about a possible return of the banda. Already in September the same year the band reunited with three quarters of its original preserved, only entering a new drummer: Kleber Utiel that by incompatible schedules, left the band after 3 months, the time needed to record " Demo 2002 "released in December 2002. After some cover band rehearsals, in February 2003, entered Prestor definitely BillyGoat drummer. The band began scoring shows from the second quarter of 2003, getting as high-profile holdings in Mr F Festival in Brasilia (May 23 2003) and Bananada in Goiania on May 25, 2003. In September 2003 Bebeto Daroz left the band once more, this time to devote to his main band (Possessonica) where is guitar and vocals. In its place came Caio Braga who was playing with J. Antunes in another project called Stoner Flowstone. Caio was quickly joined the band now participating, up front, in the show Rockaus! in November 2003. That show earned the band an invitation to participate in the television program universtário UFF, the Unitevê, commands by Allex. The last presentation of the banda Prestor rolled in February 2004, when the band performed at the festival for the second time London Burning (RJ). In March 2004 Prestor left the band and was replaced by Philip Elder (Ex-Freezer) which came with full gas to bring projects forward. The band includes "Soul Man" in the anthology "Loco Gringos Have a Party - The South American Garage - Stoner Rock" (released in the last quarter of 2004 by Valve Disks). In July 2004, Caio Braga left the band that remained as acting trio and performed some shows by RJ. In late October, Lucas took over the lead guitar and participated in the show to launch the compilation "Loco Gringos ..." SP along with bands Flaming Moe and Walverdes. The band was scheduled to Goiania Noise Festival in December 2004 celebrating 10 years of existence, and again good reception from audiences and critics. In March 2005 Peter Fontes (partner in J. Antunes Flowstone) took the second guitar Lucky leaving only the vocals. In April the band recorded and produced their EP "Spaceman Blues" to be part of 3 Way Split released by Valve Records in June of the same year, under the name "Playing at the Sun", a concept album that united three bands (Flaming Moe - SP and SonicVolt - POA), each with 5 songs. In 2006 it was time to leave the Old Felipe banda. After some testing with no major hits Daniel Duarte (tb. of Flowstone) enters the BillyGoat. Sometime later, Lucky leaves BillyGoat to devote to Monsters of Ula-Ula and Peter takes the vocals. Since then the band has been working on new compositions and arrangements, devoting himself almost exclusively to composing essays. In this period did few shows and started recording a new EP in 2008 which should be finalized by the end of the year. From August to banda back to doing shows to show new repertoire.
