History
The group was formed in late 1981 under the name Kid Abelha & Os Ab?boras Selvagens (Kid Bee and the Savage Pumpkins), with the current members and Leoni. In 1982 they recorded a demotape with the track Distra??o (Distraction), which achieved excellent airplay on Brazilian radios, and debuted on the compilation album Rock Voador (Flying rock), together with other new Brazilian rock bands.
In 1984 the band released their first album, Seu Espi?o (Your Spy), including among others the classics Pintura ?ntima (Intimate Painting), Fixa??o (Attachment) and Como Eu Quero (The way I want). This LP attained the first gold record of the new generation of Brazilian artists.
In 1985, the band performed live at the first Rock in Rio, an experience described by the band as an "admission exam" into business. At the same concert, Leoni's departure was also announced.
