Ultraje a rigor

Ultraje a Rigor is a Brazilian rock band that started playing in the early eighties in São Paulo. The current lineup consists of Roger Moreira on vocals and guitar, Marcos Kleine on lead guitar and vocals, Bacalhau on drums and vocals, and Andria Busic on bass and vocals. Roger is the one who has always been there, since the beginning.

The band started as a cover group, playing songs by the Beatles, punk and new wave. They did shows in bars and dance clubs, and were called things like Pimenta do Reino or The Shittles. One day, they decided to call them Ultraje a Rigor, a play on words with "traje a rigor". Roger had thought of "Ultraje" alone, but Edgard, upon hearing it, asked: "Hã? How is it? What suit, or traje a rigor?" and the name stuck.

Biography

In 1983, already with their definitive lineup, they recorded a single called "Inútil/Mim Quer Tocar". But due to censorship, it didn't come out until October. Later, with a new lineup, they recorded "Eu Me Amo/Rebelde Sem Causa", which became a hit. At the beginning of 1985, the group released their first album, *Nós Vamos Invadir Sua Praia*, which was the first to win a gold and platinum disc in Brazilian rock. The songs were played a lot on the radio, and the band filled places like the Canecão in Rio de Janeiro.

Later, they became famous on the television show *Agora É Tarde*, and then moved on to *The Noite com Danilo Gentili*. In 2023, they launched a project called The Ultrajantes, where they collaborated with Ivan Saider. All of that, however, came to a halt in 2024 after an attack on the bassist Mingau.
