In April and May 1994, Coitado do Próximo recorded its first demo tape at Estúdio Anonimato: “Mulher SP” on side A and “Pegue o Seu Celular” on side B. That same year, Roberto Limonada took Nicchio to 97FM Rock and introduced him to Kid Vinil. The band was welcomed onto Kid's program and brought the newly recorded demo; it was during this appearance that “Mulher SP” was played on the radio for the first time.

First interview with Kid Vinil

Preserved recording from Coitado do Próximo's first appearance on Kid Vinil's program on 97FM Rock in 1994. Digital file preserved in Marcelo Nicchio's personal archive.

There was also a second appearance on the program, under very different circumstances. By then Coitado had opened several shows for 365 and had become friends with Finho, Ari, Junião and Mirão. Members of the two bands were at a bar with Mirão a few days before another show, talking about promotion. When they remembered that Kid Vinil was on the air at that very moment, someone suggested simply showing up at the station without an invitation to promote the show. Mirão, already a recognizable figure in São Paulo's punk scene, agreed to act as an informal guarantor for the adventure.

The group already knew the address and, at a time when access to the station was far less restricted, simply showed up. Kid told everyone to come in. Coitado arrived with an acoustic guitar and harmonica, Mirão promoted the show, and the visit ended with an acoustic version of “Pegue o Seu Celular”, performed live with voice, guitar and harmonica. The exact date of this second appearance has not yet been identified in the archive.

Coitado do Próximo therefore appeared twice on Kid Vinil's program on 97FM Rock: once as invited guests, bringing “Mulher SP” from the first demo; and once in the best punk spirit, arriving without an invitation to promote a show and performing “Pegue o Seu Celular” live.
