Ira!
Formed in São Paulo in 1981, Brazilian rock band Ira! took its name from the
IRA, the Irish Revolutionary Army, while drawing inspiration from classic groups
such as The Who and Led Zeppelin. Spearheaded by singer Nasi and guitarist
Edgard Scandurra, with Ricardo Gaspa on bass and André Jung on drums completing
the lineup, the band emerged onto the local scene in 1985 with their studio
debut Mudança de Comportamento and early hits like "Núcleo Base," "Longe de
Tudo," and "Tolices." However, it was 1986's Vivendo e Não Aprendendo that
finally thrust them into the spotlight, thanks...
