Harry

The band Harry was created in 1985 in Santos, in the state of São Paulo. In the beggining, the group featuring Hansenharryebm in vocals and electric guitar, Cesar Di Giacomo in drums and Richard Johnsson in bass played noisy rock with lyrics in English. Nevertheless, with the involvement of the producer and keyboard player Roberto Verta in the group, its music changed from noisy rock to experimental electronic rock, with influences from bands like The Clash and Kraftwerk, and from writers like Neil Gaiman and Alan Moore.
Harry’s first release was the EP “Caos”, in 1986. Two years later the same Record company, Wop Bob Records, released their first album and the last one in which the drummer Di Giacomo played: “Fairy Tales”. After that, the group started using electronic drums and samplers, what made their music even more electronic. Later, in 1990, Stiletto records released the album “Vessels’ Town”, and in 1994, Cri Du Chat released a album with the best of the two previous ones, plus some of Harry’s new songs: it was the “Chemical Archives” album.
In 1996, Harry started their new album, but Verta was in Rio de Janeiro, Hansenharryebm in Ceará and Johnson in the countryside of São Paulo state, and their project had to be abandoned. Due to the lack of time and to the distance between its members, the band split up.
In 2005, twenty years after they started playing together, Harry came back. Hansenharryebm, Di Giacomo, Verta and Johnson decided to release a box set named Taxidermy – Boxing Harry, with remastered version of old songs and a couple of bonus songs in the albums “Fairy Tales” and “Vessels' Town”.
