The Autoramas are a Brazilian surf/garage rock/garage punk/rockabilly band that started in the late 90s and continue playing to this day.
The Autoramas formed in 1997 when Gabriel Thomaz (guitarist and vocalist) moved to Rio de Janeiro and got together with Bacalhau (drummer) and Simone (bass player). Their music is a mixture of surf music from the 60s, with new wave from the 80s and the energy of Punk Rock.
They released their first album, Stress, Depressão & Síndrome do Pânico, in 2000. Songs from this CD were played on radios throughout the country as well as MTV Brazil. They toured throughout all of Brazil including performing at Rock in Rio 3.
Their second album, Vida Real, was released at the end of 2001, which resulted in another national tour as well as an international tour in Japan- where a compilation called Full Speed Ahead was released.
2003 marked the release of their third album, Nada Pode Parar os Autoramas with the hit Você Sabe. In 2004 they toured in Argentina, Uruguay and Chile.
Era pra eu estar deslumbrado
Com tantas opções que ficam na minha frente
Não consigo ficar acostumado
São muitas novidades que aparecem de repente
Chega de tanta liberdade
Tem gente que nasceu pra ser obediente
Mundo Moderno
Me tirem desse inferno
são tantas coisas novas pra experimentar
Alguém me ponha no
meu devido lugar
Mundo Moderno
Convivo com o medo enorme
que alguma idéia diferente apareça
então eu preciso de ordens
Antes que algo de ruim me aconteça
Pra tantos lados pode ir minha ambição
Mas vou jogar pro alto o que eu tenho nas minhas mãos
Mundo Moderno
Me tirem desse inferno
são tantas coisas novas pra experimentar
Alguém me ponha no meu devido lugar
Mundo Moderno
