BEER AND A BIO

Chapter 0
Há muito tempo atrás, num reino distante alguém ao falar, falou, e disse: “Curtias formar uma banda de rock à antiga??”

Chapter 1
Perguntou o André, (que gosta de tirar fotos semi-nu com o chapéu de comandante da TAP),ao Charuto (que na altura alojava secretamente uma cirrose),ao que este respondeu que sim, impondo a condição de que teria de ser algo a “rasgar pano”. Este acontecimento teve lugar no longínquo ano de 2008. Estavam no mês de Fevereiro e os telemóveis já tinham sido inventados por isso o André (capitão da TAP) decidiu telefonar ao Pipe que era seu amigo de infância. Acaso dos acasos o André precisava de um amigo e o Pipe era baixista e como já se conheciam desde pequeninos (e o Pipe era quase sempre o co-piloto, das aventuras do capitão André) acabaram por se juntar. Minutos depois o Pipe chamou à atenção do André que para formar uma “banda de rock” era necessário um guitarrista. Pensar em guitarrista de rock (como eventualmente se pensou) era pensar no Vale (grande promessa do help desk Português) que na altura era guitarrista de jazz. Naturalmente não iria resultar, por isso decidiram, juntar-se e começar a tocar. A ideia de formar uma “banda de rock” parecia genial, partindo do princípio que era uma coisa inovadora. No início tiveram a ideia de se chamar We Saw Elvis, como seria de esperar…. Depois de algum tempo, o Charuto invocou reforma antecipada devido à cirrose não anunciada. (secretamente alojada). Contudo, os outros três (André, Pipe e Vale) numa noite boémia de copos e deboche, foram dar com um indivíduo de raça negra a roubar as lancheiras aos meninos bonitos que costumam passear no parque Eduardo Sétimo. Tinha acabado de voltar de Londres, com uma mão á frente, e sem a outra atrás onde exercia as nobres profissões de varredor de rua e operador de telemarketing. O André já conhecia os dotes musicais desta personagem intrigante e o seu cariz de génio para a música. Ao início, naturalmente, este Mauro, do alto da sua arrogância ficou muito céptico com este trio, mas ao primeiro ensaio tudo se encaixou. Naturalmente. Estavam ali os primeiros Beer And A Doll, depois dos We Saw Elvis. A ideia para o nome foi do André porque todos confiam nele. Formou-se uma quadrilha. Fez-se música. Pensava-se em rock…Em dançar…em liberdade. Pensava-se em acção, actividade… Na realidade não se pensou em nada. Pouco se falou. Mas também se falou… Falou-se no facto de estarmos incompletos. Faltava alguém. Um Beethoven Faltava (mais um) Pedro. Pedro Beethoven. (facto curioso: A história mais interessante de tinha para contar era a de que um dia tinha perdido as chaves do carro quando foi às compras a uma grande superfície) Naturalmente o André (visionário) (da TAP) achou fantástico. Pensou se em mudar o nome para Milk and a Plastic Doll mas eram quatro contra um e o Beethoven perdia. Então o nome manteve-se: Beer And A Doll B.&A.D. – o cabaret volante… Tinha chegado a altura de gravarem para se ouvirem e deixar ouvir…

BEER AND A BIO ( english version )

Chapter 0

A long time ago...In a distant kingdom someone spoke. He said: "Would you like to get together and come up with a Rock band just like in the old days?"

Chapter 1

This was said by André (formerly a semi-naked flight captain). Charuto was listening and promptly said yes, having just a small demand. It had to be something that somehow could bring a house down. This conversation took place in the lost days of February 2008. Mobile phones had already been invented so they decided to call Pipe who was André's childhood sweetheart. Who could have guessed that Pipe was a bass player? He was. And he was ready to go. (Pipe always went along with André in his flights over Lisbon). Eventually they got together. Just a few minutes after that Pipe said to André that if it was supposed to be a real rock band they would need a real guitar player. In their far away kingdom guitar player means Pedro Vale. a.k.a The Animal. At that time he was playing jazz music probably in a jazz group for jazz people. It was perfect! Needless to say this would never work. So they went ahead with the plan. The idea of getting together to form a rock band seemed brilliant. Maybe something new. There were no rock bands in their far away kingdom. The name was We Saw Elvis, which didn't work because it was a lie. After just a few minutes Charuto called it quits. However on a hedonistic night at Lisbon, the remaining three (André, Pipe and Vale) got face to face with Mauro who had been back from London where we was sweeping the streets for a piece of bread. When Mauro saw this trio he laughed and thought about teaching a lesson or two to those music wannabes. He never saw it coming. André already knew about the musical skills of this character and someone, somewhere, somehow, told him he was some kind of a genius. Lies, lies and grief...They became Beer And A Doll a.k.a. BAD. The idea naturally came from André because everyone trusts him (and after all he knows how to fly a plane). With Mauro on the team they grew up to be something like mad dogs. They felt like dancing, rockin', being free, being active. To be true they didn't felt nothing. But the BAD cabaret was lacking another Pedro so they called Beethoven. Pedro Beethoven on the keyboards. Pedro was a breath of fresh air to the band probably because the most interesting story he had to tell was that one of these days he had lost his car keys while shopping… Naturally André though it was beyond perfect so the other ones just had to let him in. For a while there was some consideration about changing the name to Milk and A Plastic Doll but it was 4 against 1 and Beethoven lost. They decided to remain as BAD, Beer And A Doll the rock'n'roll cabaret. The time had come to get into a recording studio so they could listen to themselves as well as being heard...To Be Continued. Stay Tuned!
