Charlie Brown Jr. (sometimes abbreviated as CBJr.) was a two-time Latin Grammy Award-winning Brazilian alternative rock band from Santos, São Paulo. Known for their lyrics laden with social criticism and skate punk jargon appealing to disenfranchised youth, they were one of the most famous Brazilian acts of the late 1990s/early to mid-2000s; their success, though, was frequently overshadowed by controversies and clashes regarding vocalist (and only founding member to remain in all of the group's line-ups) Chorão and his bandmates, his feuds with other musicians (more famously with Marcelo Camelo of Los Hermanos), and his struggle with drug abuse. According to a survey made by streaming platform Deezer in 2015, Charlie Brown Jr. was the second most-listened Brazilian band outside Brazil, losing only to Sepultura.Following Chorão's death due to a cocaine overdose on March 6, 2013, the band ceased its activities and its remaining members regrouped as A Banca in April, intending to continue performing as a "tribute act/spiritual successor" to Charlie Brown Jr.; however, A Banca only lasted for five months as their frontman, Champignon, committed suicide on September 9.In 2019, garnering much controversy and negative reception from former fans and acquaintances of Chorão, Marcão, Heitor Gomes and André Pinguim reunited Charlie Brown Jr. for a series of shows with guest vocalists. « hide |
