About Paus

There are at least two bands called PAUS: 1 - PAUS is also a portuguese band where Hélio Morais (Linda Martini, If Lucy Fell) and Quim Albergaria (ex-The Vicious Five, Caveira) play a siamese drum set, together with Makoto Yagyu (If Lucy Fell, Riding Pânico) on the bass and Fábio Jevelim (Riding Pânico, ex-Men Eater) on the keyboards. João "Shela" Pereira (If Lucy Fell, Riding Pânico) was the keyboardist until Jevelim joined the band. The quartet has been praised for their distinctive experimental sound and explosive and improvisational live shows. They released their debut EP "É Uma Água" in 2010 through prolific Portuguese label Enchufada, and their first full-lenght album, "Paus", in 2011. A special EP, "Estamos Juntos" was given with the ticket for one of their concerts at Centro Cultural de Belém and later released in selected stores. 2 - PAUS is a swedish duo formed by Joakim Berg (main songwriter and lead vocalist in the swedish rock band Kent) and Peter Svensson (lead guitarist in The Cardigans). Peter sings on all tracks except from "Kärlekens tunga" (a cover on an Eldkvarn song). The album from 1998 had two singles released, Leia and Shock.
