Locomotores is a Brazilian rock band formed during the Winter of 2005, in Porto Alegre, a few months after Jerônimo Lima, aka Bocudo, left Cachorro Grande, band which he was a founding member. Bocudo then joined forces with his former Malvados Azuis band-mate guitar player Maurício Chaise, aka Fuzzo, and Márcio Petracco, guitarist from the '80s seminal south-brazilian rock band TNT. The band is completed by Alexandre Loureiro -- nicknamed Papel -- on the drums
