Their second album, Vida REal, was released at the end of 2001. After a new tour in Brasil, they departed for their first international tour in Japan, along with the local band Guitar Wolf. Their third, Nada Pode Parar Os Autoramas, was released in 2003 by the independent record label Monster Records.
