The group was founded in 1967 by Edgar Froese, a student of painting and drawing in the Berlin Academy of Arts and friend of Salvador Dali. The musician worked on the side of the painter in his residence on the island of Lligat, Spain, creating the famous happenings, events typical of the hippie movement, the flower power. It was the origin of the multimedia show: music, art and literature formed a single event, a festival of culture.

After eight of waiting, the album Black Ice takes the long history of AC / DC and stopped off in a successful world. In times of crisis in the music industry, the band hits record in sales of CDs The public remains traditional and new generations of faithful followers are on the way.

Controversy. This is the word that marks The Cosmos Rocks, Queen of the new CD.

The expectation was great. St Andrew is the "hometown" of the band. Lipstick is formed there, and is the city where the lives of the band (the singer Mel Ravasio lives in neighboring Ribeirão Pires). It was a night that promised a special event, which almost coincided with the launch of the clip "Nanana" directed by Alberto Azevedo Marques and Renzo, with great creativity and production.
