Biography: The band featured Paulo Som (Vocals, Viola, Guitar), Johnny (lead vocalist and guitarist), Pierre (Electric Bass and Backing Vocals), Gilberto (Keyboards and Banjo), and Edison (Drums and Effects). The album, released on LP by Continental Records, is a conceptual work that transports the listener to the fantastical world of Avalon while also offering critiques of modern society. Its bold sound combined with impactful lyrics made the album a memorable auditory experience. |

They were suggested for inclusion here back in https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=103449" rel="nofollow - July 2015 , but without a specific sub genre in the topic title, making it unlikely that any team would pick it up, and the suggestion only received a single comment initially. In January 2016 I did a round up of all the unanswered suggestions from the previous several months, along with a few others - of which that was one. I said at the time that I didn't consider the album psychedelic enough for Psych/Space, but that I thought it did belong on the site, and that Crossover was the team I'd ask to carry out the evaluation. That comment had absolutely no effect on the eventual fate of the suggestion though, and it just faded away into the background and is now locked. I think it would be useful if an admin could unlock that previous suggestion and merge it with this one rather than having two separate ones, and since I am now a member of the Crossover team I would have no hesitation in taking the suggestion to the rest of the team. For what it's worth, they are described as a "Brazilian progressive rock and experimental music band from São Paulo" on https://www.discogs.com/artist/2231004-P%C3%A3o-Com-Manteiga" rel="nofollow -

I was in doubt between taggin them with psych or crossover (and ecletic, as GKR said). I think it definitively fits the crossover tag. And since that old post was locked, merging would be appreciated. Hope it gets the attention deserved, i was suprised that this band and the old post were forgotten. |

Can't promise anything, but I'll try to get the band evaluated. The PSIKE team (which covers Psych/Space) may decide to evaluate you first in any case, but if not then I'll try Crossover. The following is a possible (checked to be plagiarism-free) biography compiled from one of those links you provided, since the PSIKE team might insist on something a bit more substantial than the one you provided above. Pão com Manteiga (Bread with Butter) was formed in the mid seventies by two musicians from São Vicente, São Paulo, Brazil. These were a bassist/vocalist who used the pseudonym 'Pierre' and an acoustic guitarist/viola player/vocalist who went under the name of 'Paulo Som'. The duo were subsequently joined by three musicians from Praia Grande and other nearby locations in São Paulo - these being guitarist/vocalist Diógenes Rondon (pseudonym 'Johnny'), a keyboard and banjo player who used the pseudonym 'Gilberto', and a drummer who used the pseudonym 'Edison Edisol', who was also responsible for the sound effects incorporated in the band's music. Pão com Manteiga was so called because "Bread, a simple food that is on every table in the world, is also spiritual food, of peace, hope and moral values." Despite the band being formed during the military dictatorship, they somehow they managed to avoid the issues of censorship that many artists suffered at the time. This may have been due to their idea of interweaving themes from the magical world of Avalon with their criticisms of modern society. Pão first came to prominence when they won fourth place in the Rock Brabo award in São Paulo in the mid-seventies. First place went to the highly influential rock and MPB (Música popular brasileira) band Os Novos Baianos, second place went to https://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=275" rel="nofollow - O Terço , one of the first progressive bands from Brazil, followed in third place by https://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=926" rel="nofollow - Os Mutantes , another influential Brazilian rock band that were linked with the dissident Tropicália movement which was active during the Brazilian dictatorship of the late 1960s, and who were heavily influenced by Anglo-American psychedelic pop. At that time Os Mutantes had a progressive rock sound not unlike the style of Yes, and had recorded the progressive rock album O "A" E O "Z" in 1973, but this wasn't released until 1992 due to a disagreement with the record company. Pão com Manteiga were signed to the Discos Continental record label, who had plans to promote the band as a replacement for the highly innovative and eclectic band https://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=9612" rel="nofollow - Secos & Molhados , who took the country by storm with two excellent albums in 1973 and 1974 before breaking up in the wake of disagreements over the management of the band's profits. Pão com Manteiga's eponymous debut album was released in early 1976, but unfortunately they didn't manage to stick around for long enough to allow Continental to achieve what they had planned, since the band broke up shortly after the release of their debut album as a result of the departure firstly of the band's lead singer Paulo Som, followed by guitarist Johnny for family reasons. Following the departure of two key members, the remaining band members simply lost motivation. The band's original founders, Pierre and Paulo Som, have since passed away. Pierre (the bassist and backing vocalist) lived in Japuí, in São Vicente, and was a fireman. Diógenes Rondon (Johnny) started playing music when he was a teenager, forming some dance and performance bands during his youth. Some time later, he was approached by Pierre and Paulo Som to see if he could help them with their project. They had already approached the producer Waldyr Santos, who subsequently acted as a bridge between them and the Continental record label. As a guitarist in a dance band, Johnny had to create solos and take care of the arrangements and other aspects of the songs that were played, and he ended up being influenced by bands like Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Carlos Santana, Ten Years After, Free, Nazareth, and others. With studio direction and production by Waldyr Santos, the album visits medieval themes and has lyrics which address the magical world of Avalon - the music itself often having prominent characteristics of late 1960s/early 1970s psychedelia. In 2019, Medusa Records store, in partnership with vinyl LP specialists Polysom, decided to re-release Pão com Manteiga's only LP in heavier 180g format as part of their Clássicos Em Vinil series - with virtually the same cover as the first issue, which Continental had probably originally designed in the same aesthetic style as the two Os Secos & Molhados covers - the final artwork being created by Oscar Paolillo and Walmir Teixeira.
