After a hiatus from the late 1970s to the early 2000s, the band reunited in 2006, touring and recording new material.Os Mutantes was formed in S o Paulo, Brazil, in 1966 by two brothers: Arnaldo Baptista bass, keyboards and vocals and S rgio Dias Baptista guitar and vocals , and lead singer Rita Lee.
They were originally named Six Sided Rockers.
1 The Baptistas father was a poet and mother a pianist, 2 and the two had previously had a band called The Wooden Faces.
S rgio Dias guitar, the Golden Guitar Guitarra de Ouro , was created by Arnaldo and S rgio s brother, Cl udio C sar Dias Baptista, who built many of their instruments and electronic effects.
3 4 Their current name was settled upon immediately before a performance on a Brazilian television program.
5 Through other TV performances, the band was able to meet Gilberto Gil, an influential musician in the Tropic lia movement, who brought them into the movement s circle.
5 Os Mutantes released two albums heavily influenced by Tropic lia, which blended psychedelic rock with other forms of art.
They played with many artists of this period, including Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil, prior to their arrest and subsequent exile.
During the 1960s, Os Mutantes was threatened by the military government of Brazil of that time.
6 In 1971, bassist Arnolpho Lima Filho Liminha and drummer Ronaldo Leme Dinho officially joined the band.
They released five albums together before Lee departed in 1972 to start a solo career.
6 Rita Lee s 1972 album Hoje o Primeiro Dia do Resto da Sua Vida was actually recorded with Os Mutantes but credited to Rita Lee due to record company disagreements.
Subsequently the band moved in a progressive rock direction with the album O A e o Z, recorded in 1973 but released only in 1992 due to disagreement with the record company.
Arnaldo left the band in that year to pursue a solo career due to differences with other band members and problems with the abuse of LSD, followed by Dinho and, a year later, Liminha.
Arnaldo subsequently was institutionalized and jumped from the building s window, causing a six-week coma.
2 S rgio Dias, the only remaining original member, led the band until its dissolution in 1978.
During this time, they released one more studio album, a live album and an EP.
Two unreleased albums were released many years later, the aforementioned O A e o Z and Tecnicolor recorded in 1970 and released in 2000.Influence edit When Os Mutantes was formed, it combined influences from psychedelic acts from the English-speaking world like The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and Sly the Family Stone 7 with bossa nova, tropic lia, samba and the cultural legacy of the Brazilian art vanguards from the modernist movement.Os Mutantes is one of the most well-known and influential rock bands in Brazil.
In addition, many contemporary underground or independent bands in the United States and Europe cite Os Mutantes as a major influence.
Kurt Cobain publicly requested a reunion tour from the trio in 1993, writing a letter to Arnaldo Baptista.
8 Cobain was introduced to them by Pat Fear from White Flag whose collaboration with Redd Krossand other friends under the name The Tater Totz was the first American band to cover or even cite Os Mutantes on their 1988 LP Alien Sleestaks from Brazil .
Beck paid tribute to the group with his single Tropic lia from the album Mutations.
The Bees UK band covered A Minha Menina on their first album, Sunshine Hit Me.Red Hot Chili Peppers bass player Flea has stated on his Twitter account that Os Mutantes the brazilian band is so great .
9 Kevin Barnes of Of Montreal cites Os Mutantes as an important influence.
10 11 Talking Heads frontman David Byrne has worked to publish and promote the group s music through his Luaka Bop label.
1 Their song Ave Lucifer has been sampled on Captain Murphy s The Killing Joke produced by Flying Lotus .Reunion edit Os Mutantes Arnaldo, S rgio and Dinho, sans Rita Lee and Liminha Lee was replaced with Z lia Duncan on vocals played live for the first time since 1978 at the Tropicalia exhibition atLondon s Barbican Arts Centre on May 22, 2006.

In September 2007, both Arnaldo Baptista and Z lia Duncan left the band.
12 Both expressed wishes to continue with their respective solo projects.
S rgio Dias, however, vowed to keep the reformed band alive, not wanting to let the giant sleep again , as he put it.In November, it was reported that Liminha would return to the fold, while Karina Zeviani was said to replace Duncan as the band s female vocalist.
13 Neither is part of the new band lineup.
S rgio Dias announced in late 2007 the recording of a new studio album, with some collaboration by Tom Z and Devendra Banhart.
14 In April 2008, Os Mutantes released their first song in more than 30 years, called Mutantes Depois , with new female vocalist Bia Mendes and male vocalist Fabio Recco, available for digital download and online stream.
15 In June 2008, A Minha Menina was the featured audio track for the McDonald s commercial Victory.
In 2009, the band announced their first new release in 35 years, Haih Or Amortecedor, which was released on September 8, by ANTI- Records.
16 They did an extensive North American tour in support of the album in the fall of 2009 17 and played at the Glastonbury Festival in June 2010.
