	Vol.XIV Ep.026 Wikipedia Lyrics
Info: Xutos & Pontapés are a Portuguese rock band, who got together in Almada, Portugal in 1978, 4 years after the Carnation Revolution. The band was formed by the late Zé Pedro, Zé Leonel, Kalú and Tim. Their current lineup consists of Tim (vocals, bass), João Cabeleira (guitar), Gui (saxophone, keyboards) and Kalú (drums). They started off in the local punk rock scene and set the trend – singing rock tunes in Portuguese. After 3 decades of studio and live albums, Xutos & Pontapés continue to be considered Portugal's top rock band influencing new generations of Portuguese bands. In 2004 the band was awarded a state decoration by Portuguese President Jorge Sampaio, for 25 years of career achievements in the music industry. In September 2009 they played to a packed football stadium, Estádio do Restelo, to commemorate their 30th anniversary. They played for 3 hours – each hour marking a decade of their steadily successful career. It was the first time 7 screens were used on stage in Portugal. Xutos & Pontapés are often considered the most successful rock band from Portugal.
