Early 1999, two friends (Gustavo and Sineval) in love with Sarah and Creation Records, tired of having nothing to do in their small town, decided to form a band.
A few months later, another friend, Nico, joined the group playing keyboards and guitars. On a cloudy Sunday they chose the bands name: Pale Sunday.
Fabricio, who was starting to work in music production, invited the band to record a song under his production. Pale Sunday released (only in Brazil) the tape single Dreamscape (Amy Records) including the songs A star will shine and Rainy day.
2000 was a year of changes, Nico left the group. Gustavo and Sineval were studying and working all the time so that they couldn't dedicate themselves to the band, and the band was put on hold.
In 2001, they regained momentum, composing new songs. Everything starts when you smile and Go ahead were then recorded in Fabricio's home studio and both songs got some excellent reviews after being presented to Indiepop lovers in Brazil. Some months later, in 2002, Pale Sunday completed what would be the band first EP with two other pop hits: the romantic ballad 'Today' and the catchy The girl with sunny smile. This 4 song EP, named 'Everything starts when you smile', was published in a totally independent way and used as a 'promo work'.
Pale Sunday's year 2002 had not finished yet! In October, Jimmy Tassos (Matinee Recordings) listened to Everything starts when you smile EP and offered the band the wonderful opportunity of releasing their songs on his own label. In late April of 2003, 'A weekend with Jane', Pale Sunday's debut on Matinee, was out. The tracklist included 3 songs from that independent disc plus the new EP title track.
As you may think, Pale Sunday is "officially" a trio again, Fabricio is the "new" member.
