Titãs is a rock band formed in the city of São Paulo, Brazil in 1982. Although they originally played alternative pop-rock in their early days, the group has also used several other genres over almost 40 years of career, such as new wave, punk rock, grunge, MPB and electronic music
The initial formation had a very unusual number of members. There were nine members, six of whom were vocalists. Arnaldo Antunes, Branco Mello and Ciro Pessoa sang and did backing vocals. Sérgio Britto, Nando Reis and Paulo Miklos, in addition to singing, took turns playing keyboards and bass. The rest of the group was formed by André Jung, on drums, Marcelo Fromer on rhythm guitar and Tony Belloto on lead guitar. The origin of the name goes back to the band's first rehearsals, held in the library at Tony's parents' house, where there were books such as Titãs da Ciência, Titãs do Esporte, Titãs da Literatura, among others, and this inspired them to create the name Titãs do Yeah yeah.
