Caveira

Caveira are a Portuguese free rock group based in Lisboa, formed in 2005 by Pedro Gomes and Rita Vozone on guitars and Quim Albergaria on drums, they all had been members of a different project named Manta Rota. The group issued a cdr titled "África" that same year and were the opening act for Devandra Banhart at Aula Magna. 2006 was a prolific year for the trio, starting with a live collaboration with Can's Damo Suzuki at ZDB, a national tour with Fish & Sheep and Tropa Macaca dubbed "Caravana do Estrilho", opening for Comets On Fire shows on their European tour, and releasing two records "Cena Espírita", a self-released studio recording and "Quebranto", a live recording from their appearance at the 2005 edition of the Sonic Scope Festival issued by Rafflesia. In January 2007 Pedro Gomes announces that Rita Vozone had left the group and they will continue as a duo, they do continue to perform live but less often than before, and go on a hiatus in 2010 after a concert at Stones in Lisboa on April 1st, the two musicians had grown musically apart. In 2012 the project is revived by Pedro with a new formation, as he is joined by Gabriel Ferrandini a drummer with which he previously collaborated live as a duo, and by André Abel from Tropa Macaca on guitar, this line-up played a few shows and in February 2015 the group plays at Rescaldo Festival with Manuel Mota as a guest guitarist, André was no longer a member, later that year the project becomes a quartet with Pedro Sousa on sax and Miguel Abras on bass.
