Belo Horizonte, Brazil (1992 – present)

Pato Fu is a band from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais formed in 1992. The band is composed of Fernanda Takai (guitar and vocals), John Ulhoa (guitar, vocals, keyboards and programming), Ricardo Koctus (bass and vocals), Xande Tamietti (drums), and the newest member Dudu Tsuda (keyboards).

Their first album, Rotomusic de Liquidificapum, was released in 1993. Since then, they have released another eight: Gol de Quem?, Tem Mas Acabou, Televisão de Cachorro, Isopor, Ruído Rosa, MTV ao Vivo: No Museu de Arte da Pampulha, Toda Cura para Todo Mal and Daqui pro Futuro.

The band’s popularity began to increase along with two other groups from Belo Horizonte, Jota Quest and Skank. The band plays pop-rock but frequently resorts to electronic music elements as well. Pato Fu is often said to be influenced by Os Mutantes, a famous Brazilian group from the 1960s, probably because of the experimentalism found in both bands’ songs. One can find in Pato Fu musical influences by Devo, The Cure, Radiohead, Pizzicato Five, Super Furry Animals and also , among various others.

With the release of Ruído Rosa, Pato Fu was nominated as one of the best bands of the world by Time Magazine in 2001. The band’s 10th anniversary in 2002 was celebrated with the release of MTV ao Vivo: No Museu de Arte da Pampulha, a live performance with some of their most famous songs. As of 2005, popular hits include:

* PlaySobre o tempo (Gol de Quem?)
* Pinga (Gol de Quem?, about alcoholism)
* Canção pra você viver mais (Televisão De Cachorro)
* Um Dia, Um Ladrão (Televisão de Cachorro)
