Joel Fausto Biography

Joel Fausto is one of the most popular and richest Musician who was born on May 9, 1988 in Santo Tirso, Porto, Portugal. Fausto brought his wife, Andreia Figueiredo (Singer and Composer) to join him, and they created Manos (=Brothers) (=Brothers) Psychedelic Rock as well as a Post-Punk group influenced by the the 1980s New Wave with hallucination trips. Manos released an EP that was unexpectedly released “Fui ao Ceu e Voltei” in the year 2016 through Slowdriver Productions.

“Meet Me In the Bottom” was the first self-released album released in 2008. Its title is a nod to The Blues from Pink Anderson, “Meet Me In The Bottom” is approximately 40 minutes of bizarre and dark background music featuring an experimental soundtrack and jazz elements. The EP, titled “Drawn For The End” was released in 2009.

In 2011, Fausto (Guitar) joined Ruben Sequeira (Drums) and Flávio SA (Bass) and formed a trio Psychedelic Rock / Stoner with 70’s Blues Rock influences through the name Gesso. They have a traditional 70’s sound with a compact drums, heavy bass and fuzzy delayed guitar. The first EP “Névoa Baixa, Sol Que Racha” was released in 2011 and two years later, in 2013, the debut album “Howling Grace”.

“(…)For me, “Hello” is one of the most atmospheric albums this year. It has darkness, gloom and mysteriousness – and yes, these are definitely the advantages! The album is well composed, it has its own rhythm, sometimes surprising, sudden tonal changes, Fausto’s vocal is deep and distinctive and it’s all ‘topped’ with unexpanded lyrics, that do not overwhelm the sound of music.(…)” (A.M. by “The Eye Of Music” Zine, Poland).

The band was formed by two college buddies back in the year 2008 Daniel Catarino (Singer and songwriter) and Joel Fausto, Cajado was founded at the heart of Alentejo (South of Portugal) using just two basic guitars. After a few years, they it was decided to take some of the forgotten tracks they had recorded earlier and decided to sign an agreement with the Portuguese label Zigurartists to release in the year 2015 the debut single “Anta do Livramento”, the name of the small place that is located in the far-off Alentejo the place where the band first began. Cajado is an Ambient Music Soundtrack Soundscape featuring looped and dirty synthesizers and slide guitars along with some western spaghetti influences. Their concept follows the premise of “making music for those who move from the countryside to the city and feel homesick”. The first time they performed live was at their first appearance at the Portuguese alternative Festival TRC Zigurfest in the year 2015, along with other artists in their Portuguese musical scene.

“Lord is this some sweet psychedelia. The in-the-red recording and slightly blown-out production just adds to the insane bad ass shreddery and in your face riffage that threatens to melt it off from the time you hit play, until the final note explodes from the speakers into your decimated eardrums. The first thing that really caught me about Gesso’s debut full-length Howling Grace was the absolutely gnarled, distorted, fuzzy bass that crunched and trundled about, propelling the guitar work and tight drums into the stratosphere. The chest rumbling thunder of four-string sonic assault is aided by tight distorted guitar leads that thread in and out of the songs like a needle in some cosmic fabric of space and time, all interlocked with the perfectly apt drumming, occasional saxophone appearance and enough trippy space sounds to keep you floating out of body and mind the whole time. There’s some pretty great acid jazz and space rock going on here, amidst dead ahead instrumental psych rock and some nice mid-tempo melodies that will have you slow-motion head banging within seconds. Gesso truly is the real deal.” (“It’s Psychedelic Baby” Magazine)
