Founding member Gil Lima on drums. Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Gil began playing drums in college. Soon, he gathered his best friends and formed a retro rock band called “The Wood-faces” (Caras de Pau in Portuguese). Since then, Gil’s drums talents had been sitting in the oven waiting to reemerge. Today, his dreams of playing in a rock band have been realized without interfering with his full time job as an Art Director at a Florida publishing company.
