I played at many nice places, but there’s one festival at Vitória/ES that rocked.

  • Best show ever did: One of the best shows I’ve done so far was in Campinas/SP! We were very well received and the audience rocked from beginning to end! Recently, we played at SESC in São José dos Campos-SP and was no different! First-class sound, backstage, treatment and Prince on stage, waving crowd mercilessly along with many friends who have not met the time! I believe that, for now, those were the best places I played with Lockfist.
