History
Nove Mil Anjos was conceived by Junior Lima in 2008, one year after the break-up of Sandy & Junior, the duo he was a part of alongside his sister Sandy which acquired massive success throughout the 1990s and the 2000s.[1] Besides Lima, who was the drummer, the band also comprised guitarist Peu Sousa (previously a live musician for singer Pitty), bassist Champignon (of Charlie Brown Jr. and Revolucionnários) and vocalist Péricles "Perí" Carpigiani.[2][3] The band's name, however, was suggested by Sousa, who claimed it came to him through a dream.[4] Later that year they released their first single, "Chuva Agora", through their official Myspace page,[5] and made their debut show at the MTV Video Music Brazil award ceremony in October.[6]
In mid-October the band travelled to Los Angeles to work on their debut album, 9MA, alongside producer Sebastian Krys.[7] It was released to mostly positive reviews.[8]
By late 2009, creative divergences between the band members led Lima to put the group on hold.[9] Following the suicides of Sousa and Champignon in May and September 2013 respectively, any possibilities of a reunion ended.
