Casa das Máquinas (English: Machine House) is a Brazilian rock band, formed in the 1970s.

History

edit

The band was formed by Luiz Franco Thomaz, known as Netinho, member of the Os Incríveis who were looking for a sound that was less commercial and more up-to-date for their time. Their first album, Casa das Maquinas, was patterned after hard rock music while their next album, Lar de Maravilhas, adopted a more progressive style. Their third album, Casa de Rock, returned to their original style, going back to basic rock. After a near 30 years hiatus, the band decided to regroup in 2022.[1]
