Biography

Weedra is a Brazilian musical trio formed by Carol Fernandes, Patricia Saltara (Vinhão), and Marianne Crestani. The band emerged from the fusion of two other formations, Wee and Hidra, which had already released an album in the early 2000s. The trio defines itself as a "three-headed little monster," composed of two guitars and a drums, with a sound described as noisy and danceable.

The self-titled debut EP, released in 2018, marked the musical maturation of the members, who experimented with effects and sonic qualities more consciously than in their previous projects. Influenced by the 90s and 2000s riot grrrl scene, especially the North American trio Sleater-Kinney, Weedra presents a direct and raw sound, addressing themes such as gender and sexuality in their lyrics. The release of the EP was supported by the Hérnia de Discos label.

The members of Weedra bring a diverse musical background with them. Carol Fernandes and Patricia Saltara are responsible for the guitars and vocals, while Marianne Crestani commands the drums. The band's sound is marked by the intensity of the guitars and the energy of the drums, creating a sonic experience that aims to be as close as possible to their live sound. The trio has already performed release shows and collaborated with other artists from the contemporary musical scene.
