One more time I had a chance to go a concert of Rodox, now straight after the band released their second album which is called RODOX. The concert was opened by Houdini, which presented a good melodic hardcore, warming up the public before Rodolfo would come with his army. For some reason I didn't take any photo of this day, I was probably just enjoying the show, but there are photos of the first concert Rodox did at CCSP in January.

Rodox no Centro Cultural São Paulo (CCSP) - 17 de Janeiro de 2003



Rodolfo Abrantes was the vocalist for the Brazilian rock band Raimundos, a band which used to mix rock/hardcore with dirty lyrics and folk Northeastern music. They became huge in Brazil in the 90's. 

 In 2001, Rodolfo leaves Raimundos officially and starts a new band called Rodox.

 In 2002 they released Estreito, a powerful hardcore / metalcore release and it was an instant success with the public.

 A concert was announced for January 17, 2023 and I was decided to go. The concert was intense, Rodolfo was energetic as usual and the crowd knew all songs and would sing along enthusiastically (including the writer here). Rodox also played a P.O.D. cover "Alive" and the public welcomed it very well. At the end of the concert I was in sweats but very satisfied with all I saw. It's worth mentioning the technique and ferocity of Fernandão (Fernando Schaefer) who got the attention of people many times during the concert.

   

We managed to take photos with some members of the band, including Rodolfo and Fernandão. I was wearing my white Exousia t-shirt and I remember telling Rodolfo "I'm glad you're a brother now".



 

I only had a camera on me (not even digital yet) but Karabina had a camcorder and luckily we now able to check the whole concert.

Kiss FM Inauguration - Inauguração da Kiss FM - São Paulo, 13 de Julho de 2001

Kiss FM Inauguration - Inauguração da Kiss FM
São Paulo, 13 de Julho de 2001

 
I learned from my friend Rodrigo Vilas about this inaugural event of the new (old) radio station of São Paulo city: Kiss FM. In a time when all other radio stations started to sell their souls to pop rock, Kiss FM came with the mission of playing classic Rock music.

So I met Rodrigo at Paulista Avenue and we lined up with the people to get inside the radio station premises. The event had a highly professional Beatles cover band, which, unfortunately, I can't recall the name, I searched everywhere on internet and even the radio station employees couldn't help on that.

It was fun and memorable, all radio staff was there, including Dani Mel, the blonde girl I'm with in the centre photo above.
