mau mau - xangai-vietsoul 7'' (1982)


"Formed in Lisboa in 1977, Aquí-Del-Rock was the first portuguese band to release a punk record, the mythical single "Há que violentar o sistema". By the end of 1981, after the release of two 7" and a history of live shows that included being the opening act in the first punk show in Portugal by a foreign band, the band changed the name to Mau Mau, to persue a more post-punk easthetic. Mau Mau only released one 7", that included the songs Xangai and Vietsoul. Soon after this release, the band ended, only to be reborn ephemerously as Aquí-del-Rock II in 2008."
