Profile The Hot Stuff was formed in the early 90s in Portugal, but its members were…Brazilians! The link between Brazil and Portugal being the drummer, Rodrigo Leal, who is the son of Portuguese singer, but living in Brazil, Roberto Leal.Their first album “Kind Of Crime” were recorded by Portuguese Mário Peniche, but was soon replaced by Fábio Zaganin (who had participated in the Angels Night between 1992 and 1993). The record features a good hard rock sung in English, highlighting the compositions and superb guitar work, besides the nicely harmonized backing vocals. The band brings diverse influences, mixing some elements of Funk Rock, the example of the Extreme. In 1994 they released a second album melled to be their last.
