1965 - A brother in law who plays the rock in the acoustic guitar, in contrast with an uncle who plays Rio Grande do Sul typical music in the accordion. This excites him to play, but, so far, so god. He starts in the primary school of Escola Estadual Ildefonso Gomes. He becomes a small PM (Military Police officer) and he lives in the barracks then. He likes this, because there he can play soccer.

1969 - He starts in the Gremio Football Porto-Alegrense (a typical team of the south region) and later in Internacional Sport Club (a typical team of the south region as well; the two teams are rivals for the local population of Rio Grande do Sul) like a goalkeeper, where he stays until...

1971 - He gets into high-school in Colégio Estadual Winston Churchill. The older brothers introduce him to pop rock. Then a deviation of conduct starts manifesting: Júlio and a school mate start to steal records from stores. That wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't constant. At least, this introduces him definitely to heavy rock: The Who, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, etc. He becomes a constant ruffian and gets in street conflicts constantly.

1973. - He trains with much dedication (almost obsessively).

1975 - He starts taking the second year of high-school in the night shift. He stars looking for a job during the day. Internal conflicts make him leave the thefts and the fights. Soon after that, he is taken to a mental institution, teenager thing. He does not take drugs then, he is just a problem lad. After leaving the institution, the concerned family gets together to discuss his situation. Júlio decides: he wants to be a musician. He gets a Mil Sons electric guitar and a small valve amplifier. HAPPY

1976 - He reunites with two friends for the high-school, and, with his brother Paulo Renato (deceased in 1995), starts a band.

1977 - Decided to improve himself, he starts studying a little classical guitar. He gets an appropriate acoustic guitar: an acoustic white enamel Giannini Guitar, nylon strings. He starts listening to jazz and Bossa-Nova, with predilection for Joao Gilberto.

1978 - He quits the second year of high-school to fully dedicate to music.

1979 - After varying so much on his preferences, he decides Bob Dylan, Neil Young and The Band would be the basic influences for his band. He decides to compose and sing inside that country-rock style. He performs then, with these compositions, the first show named "Uma Cançao nas Trevas" (A Song in the Darkness).

1980 - The band decides to adopt the he title "Um Cançao nas Trevas" and under this name, performs (strangely) the show "Jazz & Blues" in Architecture College from UFRGS. It is a success among students. His daughter Consuelo Valandro is born. Júlio starts living in a house from which the garage becomes legendary. He rents it for rehearsals and there, bands such as Engenheiros do Hawaii and DeFalla play then. He performs a supporting role in the film "Deu Pra Ti, ANos 70", from Giba Assis Brasil.

1981 - He finishes the band and Júlio goes to a gig with his brother and bass player Ademir Frozi, in the Clube de Cultura. It is called "As Estórias Elétricas de Uma Guitarra Acústica” (The Electric stories of an acoustic guitar).

He records a new demo in roll-tape, "Cine Marabá". It was a success on Band AM.

They start to alternate with "Engenheiros do Hawaii" the opening band of the gigs. A gig in Gigantinho is decisive: Rock Unificado I. Júlio knows the big bosses from record companies will be there willing to produce a record of the rock from the south. Inexplicably, the band performs badly. Everything goes wrong.

The things start to work out and the strategy of demo-tapes for radios star to work again.
