The trio now known as NRK comprises of Cello Zero, Goos and Raphael Caffarena. NRK sprung from a friendship born amongst the nightlife of São Paulo from the hedonistic goals they all shared - to play in clubs, travel the world and to drink. Soon they began to respond to the vaguely controversial nickname of New Rave Kids On The Block - now shortened to NRK - in October 2007. What they wanted was to make make pop music that you can dance to, have a laugh to (and at) and marry this with their eclectic influences, particularly in electronic music.



Without much fanfare, they suddenly found themselves appearing in most of São Paulo’s underground clubs, as well as in other parts of Brazil. Within a few weeks their myspace page had thousands of listens to their home made tracks, leading to several international blogs giving them a mention (includes America’s Big Stereo). The Brazilian national press sites the trio (on portal Globo.com) as one of the ‘eight bands to watch out for in 2008’. Other mentions have come from sites such as MTV Brazil, Popload’s Lucio Ribeiro and Erika Palomino amongst others. This unexpected progress achieved during these initial few months has pushed the band to maybe take things a little more seriously.

In February 2008, NRK was invited to contribute to a compilation being made by London based publication Amelia’s Magazine, who were doing a special edition on Brazil. Since then, the boys have been working on finishing their debut EP, RADICAL.
