Formed in 82.

Frontman wore glasses.
Had a pecuilar dance that's a mix of Morrissey and Ian Curtis.
Wrote a song about love affair with another man.

Very interesting group, even if the music is rip of so many other influence.
I'm a sucker for Porturgese though.

You should check their other songs, there's some other stuff with lots of keyboads, somewhere between Joy and New Order. The siner died of HIV in the mid-90's.

Also he was in a punk band in the late 70's (like Morrissey) called Aborto Eletrico (Eletric Abortion)

Way ahead of you.

I asked my Brazilian friend about them and he got excited, they're his favorite band.
Thanks for introducing me.
