Squeeze Theeze Pleeze

Squeeze Theeze Pleeze is a Portuguese band. They are from Cantanhede and came into the music business in 1996, although the band was formed two years after that.

Formation

Farinha, one of the guitar-players has said

“At the beginning, we all had different projects in mind. Later, we decided to get together and start to build a sound, and finally, we made the band. New people started to join us. It was the beginning of the accomplishment of a common dream that we always had”.

The name ‘Squeeze Theeze Pleeze’ has a bizarre and distinctive sound. The choice for that name ‘has to do with me’ says Farinha and he continues

"...when I was little, I had a t-shirt with two lemons that said 'squeeze theeze pleeze'. Then, we decided to give that name to our band. We like it because of the phonetic conjugation of the z’s and the e’s."

Like all bands, these five boys – Assalino (vocals), Miro Vaz (guitar-player and producer), Pedro Fonseca (guitar-player), J.Boy and Farinha (bass)- who form Squeeze Theeze Pleeze have their own musical preferences. Red Hot Chili Peppers, Incubus and also Foo Fighters are just some of the references that influence the music they make. This band's musical style is pop rock.

Releases

Its latest album is "Flatline". Its first single was one of the sounds of the year 2003. With their music on television series such as "Morangos com Açúcar" and with the single "Hi, Hello (my name is Joe)" on the radio, they are widely recognized in Portugal. Their first album "Ode to a child" was well known by the Portuguese audience. They’re expecting that this new one follows the same way as the first one. Squeeze Theeze Pleeze has the power of several bands. However, they want to transmit feelings and sensations through their music. Their song music is daily stories that can be adapted to the life of each individual. People can identify themselves with what they are listening to or simply with what the music itself transmits. Squeeze Theeze Pleeze is not only for a certain audience. It is for all ages.
Their second single "D Song" will be released soon. Squeeze Theeze Pleeze passed through good (forming the band) and bad (losing a band element) experiences but they continue to be considered one of the greatest Portuguese bands of the moment.

Lip syncing scam

A video was released featuring the band playing live. The lead singer walked to the end of the stage and fell off. However, the vocals remained constant the entire time. The singer tried to pass it off as if he was singing the full time, although it is safe to say that he was in fact lip syncing. http://www.i-am-bored.com/bored_link.cfm?link_id=27082.
