* History

When Chorão came to Santos at seventeen (after a difficult and somewhat traumatic childhood) he already had a strong interest in skateboarding and rock music. From time to time he would stand in for a singer of a local rock band when the guy had to go to the bathroom during a show. A musician in another saw Chorão performing during these bathroom breaks and invited him to join his band.

When the bassist of that band quit, Chorão found Champignon who was twelve at the time. Later on, Chorão decided to start his own band, and invited Champignon and Pelado (Chorão’s friend from another local band), and then Marcão and Thiago (a 5th member). The band would continue to have shows in the city without an official name until Chorão crashed his car in a coconut shack that was named “Charlie Brown Jr.”

Producer Rick Bonadio, who Champignon knew, invited them to make a “demo” and he liked what he heard. Virgin Records signed the band after hearing their demo.

In 1997, they released their debut album Transpiração Prolongada Contínua (“Long, Continuous Transpiration”, reference to the hard work). Well-received by the public, it remains as their biggest hit, and CBJr won a VMB (the Brazilian VMA) for Breakthrough Artist.
