Ecos Falsos

**Ecos Falsos** is a São Paulo-based rock band formed in 2002, known for their indie sound and candid lyrical themes. The current lineup includes Daniel Akashi (guitar/vocals), Davi Rodriguez (drums/vocals), Gustavo Martins (guitar/keys/vocals), and Rodrigo de Pizzol (instrumentation unspecified), with past members contributing during their earlier years. After a 15-year hiatus from releasing new music, they re-emerged with tracks like *Vai Virar Prédio*, addressing contemporary societal issues. Their career highlights include collaborations with Brazilian icon Tom Zé, a 2009 appearance on *Jô Soares’* TV show, and a memorable MTV-featured tour of Northeast Brazil. The band cites Radiohead, Weezer, and Tom Zé as formative influences.

Their music often blends sharp social commentary with energetic indie rock, reflecting their commitment to addressing themes like capitalism’s impact on culture. Despite humorously noting their wish to “make money with the band, for a change,” Ecos Falsos maintains a cult following in Brazil’s alternative scene, emphasizing authenticity over commercial appeal.
