Hateen

Hateen had its start in 1994, always with the intent of adding elements of alternative music in its sonority.
Influencied by punk rock, hardcore and indie rock, the group tries to keep its own style and to play a very personal music.

Specially in the lyrics, the group shows the real and sincere feelings of daily situations, with a strong emotional content.

That's maybe the reason why they create such a big involvement with their public.

Rodrigo Koala [guitar and vocal], Ricardo di Roberto [drums], and Cesar Santisteban [bass and vocal] gave concerts all over the country, recorded their first demo "Blind Youth" and the first album "Hydrophobia" (Choice Records). In 1996, another guitar player, Boris Fratogianni, joined the group and they recorded, in 1998, the album "Feeling like Nick" (Holiday Records), which is sold out. A few months after, Santisteban left the group and Fernando Sanches [Dance of Days, Small Talk, Againe, Van Damien, actually CPM 22] took his place.
"Teenage X-Mas Song" was recorded in 2001, in a CD specially made for a Christmas Party at the Hangar 110, a punk rock night-club in Sao Paulo, with the four of them, plus Maurício Takara. The first live album, "More Live Than Dead", was recorded in 2002, at the Hangar 110. The group has also a cover of the American band Husker Dü (Don't Wanna Know if You're Lonely). At the end of 2002, Fernando Sanches has left the group and Andre Abreu (Dé) joined it.

The aim of the group is still the same as it was in the beggining: play as much as possible, at the most different places and keep the integrity of emotion of its music.

Now Hateen is playing in portuguese
currently is formed by Rodrigo Koala (guitar/vocals), Fabrizio Martinelli (guitar, ex-Zeroleft, Fistt, Street Bulldogs), Sonrisal (bass, ex-Predial, Street Bulldogs) and Xim (drums).
