Big News! After 37 years, the first & only studio recordings of Brazilian post punk band Ida & Os Voltas, derived from their self-released cassette tape “Samambaias Voadoras” (Flying Ferns), have finally come to life in a superb joint 12’ vinyl release by Nausea Records and Nada Nada Discos!
Formed at the end of 1985, Ida e Os Voltas would emerge in the iconoclastic Belo Horizonte’s post-punk scene, after punk artist Ida Feldman meets Bruno Verner, Aleca (A. de Alexandria), Frederico Pessoa and Bernardo Rennó; long-time friends who lived in the same tower block, at the bars Trincheira and Complexo B - two of the art punk strongholds of the city at the time.
Part of the same post-punk scene of R. Mutt, Hosana Nas Alturas, Sexo Explícito, Divergência Socialista, O Último Número, Xiitas, Crime Ópera, Alma Ciborg, Os Contras amongst others; Ida e Os Voltas were often played on local station Radio Liberdade Fm 92,9 MHz, where two of their tracks “Jovens Raptados” and “Cadê A Embaixatriz/ Revolta” became underground micro-hits throughout 1987. The release also includes distinct moments from their candidly surrealistic Casio-driven repertoire in tracks such as “Deus Meus Fudeus”, “Todos Querem”, “Anti-Progresso” e “Samambaias Voadoras. Check them out! Ida & Os Voltas disbanded in 1988.
