A Brazilian emo-pop rock outfit hailing from Porto Alegre, Fresno was formed by school friends Leandro "Nego" Pereira (vocals) Lucas "Paraiba" Silveira (guitars), Gutavo "Vavo" Mantovani (guitars), and Pedro "Cuper" Cupertino (drums) in 1999. Bassist Bruno "Lezo" Teixeira joined soon after, and the five piece were up and running. Their first demo EP, 2001's O Acaso do Erro, marked the beginning of their recording career, but turned out to be the end of the road for Pereira, who called it a day, with Silveira taking over on vocals. The band released their first album, Quarto dos Livros, in 2003, which was quickly followed by 2004's O Rio, A Cidade, A Arvore. Following the release of their third album, Ciano, bassist Bruno "Lezo" Teixeira left the group, and the band recruited Abril bassist Rodrigo Tavares to fill the empty roster slot. 2007 saw Fresno release the live album, MTV Ao Vivio and win Best New Artist at the MTV Brazil Awards. In 2008, Fresno unleashed album number four, Redenção, which also turned out to be the last Fresno album to feature the talents of drummer Pedro Cupertino. He was soon replaced by Rodrigo "Bell" Ruschell.
