Formed in 1971 by Ney Matogrosso (vocalist), Gerson Conrad (vocalist/composer/guitar) and Joao Ricardo (singer/composer/guitar/harmonica), Secos & Molhados is inscribed in a privileged category of few bands and musicians who led Brazil from bossa nova through Tropicalia then to Brazilian rock, a style which only blossomed in the '80s. Much of the group's importance, apart from the huge success of its first album, which sold 700,000 copies in 1973, was the heavy use of stage makeup and dramatic elements, which influenced artists like KISS.
