 After good feedback from showing some demo tapes to a music shop owner in Leiria, David Fonseca approached Sofia Lisboa with the idea of forming a band.That idea only materialized one year later, when both of them invited Rui Costa to the band — who suggested they turn off the amplifiers and play acoustic, in "silence".They won a 500.000 escudos (roughly 2500 euros) prize in a band festival, which was spent totally in making demos.
