about

Gata Pirâmide

Valério e Steve Shelley se conhecem em 2013, ano que o combo Lee Ranaldo & the Dust vem se apresentar no Largo da Batata, em São Paulo. É em 2015, no enquanto, quando o baterista americano volta à capital, que a dupla tem chance de se reunir para tocar pela primeira vez. Com Paulo Kishimoto no baixo, composições inéditas de Valério (guitarra, kalimba elétrica e voz) no repertório e nome inspirado em uma deusa do Antigo Egito, o grupo estreia no palco de um pequeno clube no centro da cidade.

Um ano depois, Steve retorna ao Brasil, e o Gata Pirâmide completa a formação com Jose Bárrickelo na guitarra. Após ensaios e shows pelo país, as músicas de Valério e um material criado em conjunto naquela ocasião ganham registro em sessões de gravação no Rio de Janeiro e em São Paulo. O resultado é o par de EPs Vol. I e Vol. II, que vem à tona neste intenso 2020, após a mais longa pausa do projeto.

Gata Pirâmide

Valério and Steve Shelley met in 2013 when Steve performed with Lee Ranaldo & the Dust at Largo da Batata, a free outdoor concert in São Paulo, Brazil. It was in 2015, when Steve returned to the capital, that the duo had a chance to play together for the first time. With Sao-Paulo multi-instrumentalist Paulo Kishimoto on bass and synths and a few unfinished compositions by Valério (guitar, electric kalimba and voice) in the repertoire - and a name inspired by an ancient Egyptian goddess - the group made its debut on the stage of a small club in the city center.

A year later Steve returned to Brazil once more, and the addition of Jose Bárrickelo on guitar completed the group. After some rehearsals and concerts around Brazil, Valério's music, and the material created together the previous year, was captured at recording sessions in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. The result is Vol. I, the first of several EPs. Mixed by Paulo at Jalapeño Verde Studio and released in 2020 via Vampire Blues.

LYRICS
Olhos Desertos
segue em frente, então
sem botar fé em idéia em vão
vai na fé, então, sem alarde
segue em frente, então, por toda vida imensidão
vai na fé, irmão, sem alarde

quantos olhos desertos verão onde você andou?
quantos olhos desertos verão onde você passou?
quantos olhos verão?

Tudo Bem
tudo bem comigo
cê também
tudo bem comigo
zé também

Cada Dia
dia me espera deitado
solo que sempre existiu
dia me espera deitado
solo que sempre existiu
que nunca foi
nem prometeu
lado oposto
nem sucedeu
dia me espera deitado
solo que sempre existiu
dia me espera deitado
sobre o solo que sempre existiu
que nunca foi
nem prometeu
dentro ou fora
aconteceu
