Xutos & Pontapés got together in Almada, Portugal in 1978, 4 years after the 25 April Revolution. Fittingly entered the 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 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. Current members are original line up Tim (bass/vocals), Zé Pedro (guitar), João Cabeleira (guitar), Kalú (drums) and Gui (sax). Fans refer to the band as Xutos; and Xutos is pronounced 'shootoosh'. Both 'xutos' and 'pontapés' are words in reference to two types of kicks ('xutos' for kicks in a ball, and 'pontapés' for kicks in the shin).
