Formed in 1969 in São Paulo, SP, Brazil, the Pholhas was named as a suggestion from a friend of the members Paulo Fernandes, Oswaldo Malagutti, Helio Santisteban and Wagner Benatti during their first rehearsal.
The band used to play at dancing clubs in the city in order to achieve popularity. And it happened quickly.
The first album was recorded in 1972 and released in 1973 by RCA Records, all sung in English in a time when this was not common in Brazil, where the language spoken is Portuguese.
The album DEAD FACES reached the # 1 position on the charts just 3 months after its launching, with 450,000 copies sold. This album won Pholhas' first gold album.
