First published
1991. Xutos & Pontapés are a Portuguese rock band,
formed in Almada, Portugal in 1978, 4 years after the 25
April Revolution. They started off in the local punk rock
scene and set the trend - singing rock tunes in Portuguese.
Over the years, their sound evolved to a rock style mixed
with pop, hard rock and punk music. After 3 decades of
studio and live albums, Xutos & Pontapés continue to be
considered Portugal's top rock band influencing new
generations of Portuguese bands. Their sound can be
described as a mix of rock, hard rock and punk music. In
2004 the band was awarded a state decoration by Portuguese
President Jorge Sampaio, for 25 years of career
achievements in the music industry. Current members are
original line up Tim (bass/vocals), Zé Pedro (guitar), João
Cabeleira (guitar), Kalú (drums) and Gui (sax). Fans refer
to the band as Xutos; and Xutos is pronounced 'shootoosh'.
Both 'xutos' and 'pontapés' are words in reference to two
types of kicks ('xutos' for kicking a ball, and 'pontapés'
for kicks in the shin).
