Between 1989 and 1998 JPF conducted this energetic rock’n’roll band. TTTT was introduced to the public as “the very first all portuguese fake american rock’n’roll band”. What started as an art band, conceptually playing with the idea of simulacra, evolved into a consistent sonic rock act. The band released a couple of singles, participated in a few compilation but only made one full album: “Teenage Drool” (1994). In 1993 Tina and The Top Ten opened for Sonic Youth’s first gig in Portugual. On it’s most consistent and enduring line up the band included: JPF on vocals and guitar; Johnny O. Silva on guitar; Manuel Duarte on bass; Mimi on vocals; Pedro Facão on drums.
