The Bubbles Biography

The Bubbles were lead by brothers C�sar Ladeira and Renato Ladeira, sons of the radio man C�sar Ladeira and actress Renata Fronzi. They recorded in 1966 the single “N�o Vou Cortar o Cabelo.” After they participated in the 1970 Guarapari Festival, they performed in London, England. Upon their return, they became A Bolha (with drummer Gustavo Schroeter, bassist Arnaldo Brand�o, and guitarist Pedro Lima) and were invited to backup Gal Costa in her psychedelic performances of that decade. Recruited by Raul Seixas (who was a producer then) for the recording of Leno’s Vida & Obra de Johnny McCartney in 1971, A Bolha only recorded their first individual album in 1973. In that decade, they also backed up Erasmo Carlos, while Brand�o became a member of Caetano Veloso’s band (and later founder of Hanoi-Hanoi) and Schroeter joined Raul Seixas’ group (and then Moraes Moreira’s, which became A Cor do Som). In the ’80s, Renato formed Herva Doce and Pedro Lima T�nel do Tempo, which has been successful since 1994 with annual performances at the Cavern Club in Liverpool, England.
