1A Brazillian "[[LighterAndSofter happy rock]]" TeenIdol band that was spawned in 2008 and is currently a huge hit. It's made of four boys who have known each other since childhood and are still very good friends: Pe Lu (vocalist and guitarist), Koba (guitarist and backing vocal), Pe Lanza (vocalist and bassist), and Thomas (drums and synth).

5!!This band contains examples of:
6* AscendedMeme: They wrote a song titled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uH9OFxr-O88 "Puta Falta de Sacanagem"]] after an infamous {{Malaproper}} said by an angry fan after a cancelled autograph session. (the intended meaning is ThisIsUnforgivable; the literal translation is "[[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] lack of unfairness/assholery")
7* BlindWithoutEm: Pe Lanza is nearsighted, thus has to wear glasses... and said glasses became a fashion trend among their fanbase.
8* BreakupSong: Theirs are generally more about the bright side of breaking up, though. According to them, "the emo guys break up with their girlfriends and get sad, while we break up and we don't give a damn, because life goes on".
9* CampStraight
10* CaptainObvious: One of their songs is titled "Vou Cantar" ("I'm Gonna Sing"). ItMakesSenseInContext due to the first two lines of the chorus:
11-->I'm gonna sing for you to listen
12-->That verse I wrote to make you smile
13* CelebCrush: Each one of the boys has a crush on a certain famous female; in fact, Lanza's crush used to be Music/DemiLovato, but after she dumped him for thinking he looked too weird, he decided to crush on Music/KatyPerry instead. Now it's Pe Lu who's after Demi.
14* CelibateHero: Although the four of them wouldn't mind having girlfriends (or dating fans, for that matter), they avoid it because of their busy schedule.
15* CuteClumsyGirl: Koba is a {{Gender Flip}}ped example. According to Pe Lu, "he can't show up anywhere without tripping on or breaking something".
16* DressCodedForYourConvenience: It's easier to tell them apart from other bands because of their brightly-colored clothes, most notably their pants. Also, most people don't tend to notice this, but they wear their pants so low [[ComedicUnderwearExposure that it exposes their equally-colorful underwear]], with the explanation that the pants might get uncomfortable if they pull them up. The fangirls don't seem to mind it.
17* DressRehearsalVideo: Arguably, the official music video for "Recomeçar". The one for "Levo Comigo" counts too, at least before the second chorus repetition.
18* DudeLooksLikeALady: It's not hard to confuse Pe Lanza with his glasses for a nerdy girl.
19* DyeHard: Thomas is a natural brunette, but dyed his hair blonde and keeps it that way. Pe Lanza also at one point notably dyed blonde streaks onto his own hair.
20* MrFanservice: All four of the boys, natch.
21* TheFool: Thomas
22* ForHappiness: Their entire schtick.
23* GratuitousEnglish: Pops up every so often in their merchandise. Two particular phrases are "Color is the way we live" (which fits with the band's main feel) and the nonsensical but still [[RuleOfCool cool-sounding]] "Shake your flooding head".
24* {{Keet}}: All four of them, but Thomas is the most blatant example.
25* LighterAndSofter: Compared to most rock bands around. They don't follow the SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll route, although they are fans of bands that do. In fact, Pe Lanza happens to be a big fan of [[Music/GunsNRoses Axl Rose]].
26* NonAppearingTitle: A few of their songs have this, like "Amanhecer no Teu Olhar", "Sobre Eu e Você" and "Breve História".
27* OlderThanTheyLook: Pe Lu is nearly 20, but still looks like a teenager for some reason.
28* OneSteveLimit: The reason for Pe Lu and Pe Lanza being called as such is because they are both named Pedro.
29* OtherCommonMusicVideoConcepts: Monochrome Backdrop in both the music videos for "Recomeçar" and "Levo Comigo", and Backwards Action near the end of "Recomeçar". Also, arguably, Band From Mundania in the music video for "Pra Você Lembrar".
30* PrettyInMink: Barely noticeable, but Pe Lanza's outfit during the band's performance at Meus Prêmios Nick 2010 had little fluffballs (for the lack of a better word) on his ([[GoldMakesEverythingShiny gold]]) jacket's shoulders.
31* SayItWithHearts: The boys occasionally form {{Heart Symbol}}s with their hands; Pe Lanza and Thomas often do a full arm variation (called the "mega-heart" or "big-heart") during the concerts.
32* SceneryCensor: One promotional picture has the four boys shirtless (presumably naked) behind a clothesline that has their pants hanged on.
33* ShirtlessScene: Pe Lanza's Music/MichaelJackson [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OVXZG4YdxI homage]] at the 8th Happy Rock Sunday. {{Squee}}ing ensued.
34* SignatureSong: "Recomeçar". Not only [[strike:it's named after the band]] its name is pratically a Portuguese translation of the band's name, it also has the entire colorful and happy-go-lucky feel they're intended to bring (even more so in the music video, which is complete with a paint war between the boys at one point).
35* SillyLoveSongs: Most of their songs are either about love or the bright side of [[BreakupSong breaking up]]. They're not as silly as the other examples on the page, though.
36* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Pe Lu or Pelu? Pe Lanza or Pelanza?
37* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Just count how many times their sexuality is mentioned in this page and how many times it says that they are straight.
38* TallDarkAndHandsome: Pe Lu, to the fans, at least.
39* TeamDad: Pe Lu again.
40* TeenIdol
41* TheMovie: They're currently working on one, which will be released in late 2011.
42* VictoriousChildhoodFriend: Though in a more friendship-related angle, since [[WordOfGod they officially assumed]] that [[CampStraight they're not gay at all]].
