Charlie Brown Jr.












The group started when Alexander Abrão, a skateboard lover from Santos – SP, went to a party to have fun with his friends. At the party, the leader of a local band had to go to the bathroom and guess who was in front of him and caught the microphone? Alexander ( known as Chorão ). He started singing and everybody got crazy.
It was in 1992 that Chorão joined his friends Marcão and Champignon to form a band. He was enthusiastic about the idea, because they already knew how to play their instruments. They didn’t have a name for the band. It wasn’t necessary to think much to find a good name, since a small accident brought inspiration to them. It was in a car accident in Santos when Chorão hit a coconut tent called Charlie Brown and then the group was called so. The Jr. appeared later because they considered themselves a new generation of musicians like Planet Hemp and Suicidal Tendencies.
After recording a demo in 1992, Chorão along with Marcão (guitar) and Champignon ( bass and beat - box), formed Charlie Brown Jr.. Later on Pelado (drums) joined the band, so one of the best rock bands in Brazil was formed. After some time they were openingshows of great bands such as Titãs and Planet Hemp.
After Tadeu Patolla had produced a demo with the band, a contract was signed and their first cd for Virgin Records was released in 1997. Currently they have released the big hit ‘’Ela vai voltar’’. There is no doubt that Charlie Brown Jr. is the best brazilian rock band.
