rWotD Episode 2863: Forfun Welcome to Random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia’s vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Thursday, 6 March 2025 is Forfun.Forfun was a Brazilian alternative rock band which reached the peak of its popularity in the mid- to late 2000s. Formed in Rio de Janeiro in 2001, their initial line-up comprised vocalist/guitarist Danilo Cutrim, bassist Vítor Isensee and drummer Bruno Tizé. By 2002, Tizé left the band and was replaced by Nicholas Christ, while Isensee switched his position with Rodrigo Costa to become second guitarist. Their first shows were frequently attended by the sons of then-Deputy (and future President) Jair Bolsonaro, Eduardo and Carlos, who were personal friends of the bandmembers; Eduardo would later cameo in the music video for "História de Verão". They released in 2003 the demo album Das Pistas de Skate às Pistas de Dança, which was a significant underground hit, and in 2005 their official debut, Teoria Dinâmica Gastativa, produced by Liminha, came out through Universal Music Group.Following the release of Polisenso (2008) and Alegria Compartilhada (2011), which counted with guest appearances by rapper Black Alien and big band Funk Como Le Gusta, the group reached further proeminence due to their nominations to the MTV Video Music Brazil award in 2006, 2009, 2011 and 2012; in the 2005 edition, they performed a cover of Ultraje a Rigor's "Nós Vamos Invadir Sua Praia" alongside Leela, Ramirez and Dibob, with whom they would develop a strong friendship. In 2012 they collaborated on the song "Rio Porque Tô no Rio", described as an ode to Rio de Janeiro.In 2007, they collaborated on the eighth album by Santos-based band Charlie Brown Jr., Ritmo, Ritual e Responsa, co-writing and performing the track "O Universo a Nosso Favor". On February 13 and 14 of the same year, they participated in a show organized by MTV Brasil alongside Fresno, Hateen, Moptop and NX Zero; a live album of the performance would be released soon after, titled MTV ao Vivo: 5 Bandas de Rock.In 2013, they released the DVD Forfun ao Vivo no Circo Voador, recorded on December 20, 2012, and which counted with guest appearances by their friends from Dibob, Toni Garrido of Cidade Negra and Dead Fish vocalist Rodrigo Lima. The DVD contains three studio tracks recorded as extras: "Ahorita", "Malícia" and "Terra de Cego".Their final studio album, Nu, came out in 2014. The following year they announced they would be ceasing their activities; Rodrigo Costa would elaborate in a 2019 interview that the major reason of the band's end was that he was veering from their initial "left-wing ideals", causing a rift between him and his colleagues. In 2016, Cutrim, Isensee and Christ formed a new project, Braza, and alongside former members of Dibob and Ramirez, Costa founded the group Tivoli.In 2022, they released the DVD Forfun ao Vivo na Fundição, originally recorded on December 12, 2015, at the last show of their farewell tour.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:12 UTC on Thursday, 6 March 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Forfun on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Stephen.

Sabe aquele artista ou banda que você não parava de ouvir, fez relativo sucesso, conquistou a atenção do público, mas acabou desaparecendo? É exatamente sobre isso que Cleber Facchi (Miojo Indie), Nik Silva (MonkeyBuzz) e Fábio Rocha (NaFuma) discutem em mais uma edição do podcast Vamos Falar Sobre Música? Afinal, o que aconteceu com artistas como Moptop, Ecos Falsos e Gotye?
On this episode, Dave, Charlie, Jo and special guest Gregory Alexander (aka Professor Moptop) celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Beatles' self-titled 1968 double-album (more commonly referred to as The White Album).
A banda começou em julho de 2004, gravou uma demo com duas faixas, "Fellini" e "Morangorama", e tocou os primeiros shows em agosto; Em dezembro daquele ano, apresentou-se pela primeira vez em São Paulo. Em janeiro de 2005, a banda finaliza o EP "Volpina", com seis faixas. Em abril, é selecionada para fazer o show de abertura do trio inglês Placebo, em Campinas, num festival de uma companhia telefônica; a banda vence essa etapa por unanimidade – o corpo de jurados inclue Lúcio Ribeiro (jornalista e crítico musical) e Carlos Eduardo Miranda (produtor musical) – e junto de outras sete bandas toca na abertura do festival principal, no mesmo palco de Sonic Youth, Flaming Lips, Nação Zumbi e na noite do antológico show de Iggy Pop & The Stooges, em SP. Seguem os shows pelo interior e capital. Em dezembro, divide o palco com a conterrânea Wry (locada em Londres), em noite de casa cheia; o show seguinte seria o último com a formação original. Fábio Martins, guitarrista, músico e compositor da Volpina, é encontrado morto numa área afastada de Sorocaba. A banda mantém os compromissos em 2006 com um integrante a menos até Thiago Capanema assumir definitivamente o posto de guitarrista e engrossar o coro da Volpina: a banda tem três compositores/vocalistas. Em 2006, grava novas faixas e lança-as imediatamente na internet, no formato single. Uma das faixas é escolhidas para ser o primeiro clipe da banda, e "Compre" é filmado no ínicio de Agosto; lançado no fim de novembro no YouTube, o clipe teve mil exibições em apenas dois dias. Ao-vivo, a banda exibe-se apaixonadamente e emula com competência sonoridades contraditórias que vão da bossa-nova ao punk e estacionam entre o pós-punk e a no wave paulista. Já tocou em algumas das principais casas de São Paulo (CB, Outs, Inferno, Vegas, Funhouse, D-Edge, Dynamite Pub e outras) e apresentou-se com várias bandas dos circuitos mainstream (Titãs, Nação Zumbi, Cachorro Grande, Bidê Ou Balde?, Detonautas, Ultraje) e independente (Walverdes, Wry, Ludovic, Vanguart, Moptop, Revoltz, Macaco Bong, Biggs, The Fortunetellers, Pugna, Monaural, Vilania, Ini, Luna Remoto e outras tantas). O lançamento do álbum de estréia da Volpina, ainda sem nome, está previsto para o primeiro semestre de 2007. Do primeiro release: "Deslumbrados com filmes italianos e admirados com a obra do artista das bandeirinhas pegamos o nome: Volpina. Nunca cansados de ouvir todas as vertentes da música, desde as que tangem a erudição até as que beiram o malgosto, formamos o Volpina. Entusiasmados pelo poder da criação, não a do sete dias, mas a dos vários meses, escrevemos. Letras e músicas que passam pela calmaria das guitarras sem distorção, até chegarem ao cheiro de queimado dos amplificadores valvulados, baquetas quebradas pelo chão e garganta vermelha de sentimentos constitutivos do nosso pequeno universo: Volpina." Contato: volpina@volpina.com.br volpina2@volpina.com.br (15) 9129-2769 ou (15) 9773-1772 Na internet: www.volpina.com.br www.volpina.com.br/compre www.tramavirtual.com.br/volpina www.myspace.com/volpinagem www.fotolog.com/volpinagem O single de “Compre” foi gravado no estúdio El Rocha em SP, pelo engenheiro de som Bernardo Pacheco (Forgotten Boys/Elma) e o videoclipe dirigido pelo videomaker Guilherme Bellia. Nesta primeira fase, a banda é acompanhada em todos os shows locais por um público cativo e numeroso. Num bar onde cabiam, no máximo, cem pessoas, quatrocentas estavam lá para ver a Volpina. A Volpina: Felipe M (voz), Jairo Sanches (voz e guitarra), Thiago Capanema (voz e guitarra), Rafael Louzada (baixo) e Alê Cruz (bateria). "O som da Volpina é intenso, pegado e urgente. (...) Semana passada eu vi o show deles e eu certamente assinaria embaixo; pena que não dá pra assinar aqui na tela." - Gustavo "Mini" Bittencourt, Walverdes.
