Azul 29 (Portuguese for Blue 29) was a short-lived Brazilian new wave band, founded in 1982 by two former members of synthpop band Agentss. They are famous for their 1984 hit "Videogame".
Azul 29 was founded in the city of São Paulo in April 1982, by Agentss guitarist Eduardo Amarante and Thomas Susemihl, who would join Agentss futurely as well. Their first recording was the song "Ciências Sensuais". After Agentss disbanded in 1983, Amarante and Susemihl were joined by Malcolm Oakley and Thomas "Miko" Bielefeld, and thus Azul 29 became a full band. In the same year, they would release a self-titled EP via WEA (present-day Warner Music Group), containing the tracks "Metrópole" and "Olhar".
In 1984, they released a second self-titled EP, also via WEA, containing the songs "Videogame" and "O Teu Nome em Neon"; in this EP, the electronic elements in their music would become more prominent than in their previous release. "Videogame" would become Azul 29's greatest hit after being used in the soundtrack of the popular 1984 film Bete Balanço, directed by Lael Rodrigues.
