Somewhere in the beginning of the 21st century, they [Dead Combo] met around the corner, in Lisbon city two wanderers, one a thin “fire horse” born in 66, a loner with a top hat and wrinkled face, the other, tall, born in 1970, who came from the dark world of Jazz, starsign “dog”, both swore to avenge the dead and resuscitate the living,

The band Dead Combo is composed of two elements:
Tó Trips - electric guitar
Pedro V. Gonçalves - double bass, melodica and electric guitar.
Formed in 2003 by the occasion of a recording a tribute to the great portuguese guitar player Carlos Paredes,
Dead Combo has released the debut CD "Vol. 1" in June 2004.

As a critic recentely described their music:
"...Here Fado was reinvented. Here western was turned upside down. It's gunshots fired between the sounds of a guitar. It's like at any moment Clint Eastwood entered a Fado house and at the top of the stairs Severa(*) pointed him to her room..."
(*) Severa - The first great Fado singer.
