Casa das Máquinas

Casa das Máquinas was one of the most important rock bands of the 1970s in Brazil.

History

The band was formed by some ex-members of the Incríveis who were looking for a sound that was less commercial and more up-to-date for their time. Their first album, "Casa das Maquinas", was patterned after hard rock music while their next album, "Lar de Maravilhas", adopted a more progressive style, being considered one of the best albums in the country. Their third album, "Casa de Rock", returned to their original style, going back to basic rock.
