In his place was recruited the guitarist Augusto Licks, who had worked with Nei Lisboa, a known local musician. It includes the songs "Toda Forma de Poder" ( Every Form of Power) and "Sopa de Letrinhas" ( Alphabet Soup).īefore they got around to recording the second album, Marcelo Pitz left the band. The record's musical direction pointed towards a more New Wave sound, very close to the sound of bands like The Police and Paralamas do Sucesso. That performance brought invitations to do new shows and after some gigs in alternative venues in Porto Alegre and a series along Rio Grande do Sul's country region, the Engenheiros do Hawaii recorded their first solo album: Longe Demais das Capitais ( Too Far Away from the Capitals) in 1986 (the first recording was a compilation with several local bands, called "Rock Grande do Sul" in 1986). Three architecture college students from UFRGS, Humberto Gessinger (vocal and guitar), Carlos Maltz (drums) and Marcelo Pitz (bass) decided to form a band for a show in a college festival.
