[1] Azul 29 was founded in the city of São Paulo in April 1982,[2] by Agentss guitarist Eduardo Amarante and Thomas Bielefeld.
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 are noticeably 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.
On August 18, 2016, it was announced that Thomas Bielefeld had died at his hometown of Pindamonhangaba, after suffering from heart and respiratory failure.
