As OLD
AÇA was fading, keyboardist and producer Paulo Malária
thought of quitting music at all. But when the group
finally ceased to exist, he was already playing with
Nilopolis-based band THE LIRIOS
and soon after with Jad Maroja's ESTADO
INTERESSANTE. In these bands he met a
lot of great musicians, among whose guitarist Zunga
Ezzaet, bassist Jarbas Loop and drummers Bruno
Mega and Mario Costa.
So,
in 1989, there was the quartet
Jarbas-Bruno-Zunga-Mala, still nameless after many
rehearsals, creating an instrumental, 70's prog-driven
repertory. Without opposition of Old Aça's members,
the group was called ACIDENTE
once
more (from now on, NEW AÇA.
They recorded the LP 'EM CASO DE ACIDENTE... QUEBRE ESTE DISCO', released December 1989 (dated 1990). Two years later, Bruno left the band, being replaced by Mario Costa, and ACIDENTE recorded its first CD, 'GLOOMLAND', released early 1994. Another line-up switch
followed: Jarbas turned gospel and Ary Menezes
took the bass. It was the time of 'FARAWAYERS', the band's
1996 album. All these records had been released on Stolen Records, Mala's label. In
1999 Rock Symphony label's owner Leo Nahoum shown
interest in releasing 'QUEBRE
ESTE DISCO' on CD, and this happened the next
year, the album enhanced by specially created bonus
tracks (Expo Rock 2000 Supplement). Zunga had
departed by then. Good results brought a brand new production, this time labeled by a powerful partnership Rock Symphony - Musea Records (France), featuring new guitarist Renato Borges. Meanwhile, in
the lunch time, Renato-Ary-Mario-Malaria plus founder
co-member Scubi
Jenné called themselves PEGA
VARETAS
and recorded a nice CD (MEU PAU
DE SEBO, 2003), bringing back the rocking spirit
of ACIDENTE's
early days. As Renato decided to leave, the band is presently composing and rehearsing as a trio (Mario-Ary-Mala), attempting to release this new disc still in 2005. Time passed and in 2011 ACIDENTE launches ROCK compilation, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the release of their first vinyl GUERRA CIVIL. Time continued to pass, and in 2012 ACIDENTE launched AINDA, a new album containing 17 unreleased songs, part of them instrumental. Two years later, in 2014, the band released the CD NINGUÉM PEDIU, with 26 songs (including 25 previously unreleased and just one reworking, Loucos). |
