António Manuel Ribeiro, known as "Tó", leader and voice of the Portuguese band UHF, was interviewed by BLITZ's podcast in early March. The conversation took place in the context of a summer break from the "Posto Emissor" program, during which some of the most-listened-to episodes throughout the year were revisited.
During the interview, Ribeiro shared memories of the band's difficult "toxic" years. One of the stories told was of a concert day when a musician supposedly told him: "Tó, you have to lend me a guitar because I sold mine tonight," referring to heroin entering the band.
Among the topics discussed in the conversation, highlights include the approaching 50th anniversary of UHF, an unexpected encounter with Amália, and the experience of opening for the historic Ramones, an American punk rock band.
The interview was featured in August's retrospective of Posto Emissor, which selected some of BLITZ's most relevant conversations to revisit during the podcast's break period.
