Cauda Pavonis are a British deathrock band founded in 1998, by Su Farr (later Wainwright) and Dave Wainwright. Originally conceived as a 'dark romantic' experience, Cauda Pavonis broke onto the UK goth circuit supporting acts such as Star Industry and Inkubus Sukkubus. At the outset Cauda Pavonis were noted for their consciously-minimalist synthesized melodies and their use of live drums (uncommon during the late 1990s in UK goth music). They were described by Mick Mercer in his book ''21st Century Goth'' as a "Dark duo from UK with a bright future" and by ''Starvox'' as "The most old school sounding goth since Rozz Williams hung himself".〔(【引用サイトリンク】Starvox">title=starvox review )〕 Since then the line-up has grown and the band have appeared twice at the Whitby Gothic Weekend (2001, 2008) and the Wave-Gotik-Treffen. In 2003 and again in 2007, Cauda Pavonis were the focus of the ITV television programme, ''Magick Eve''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】ITV">title=Magick Eve )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】ITV">title=Magick Eve )〕 ==History== Formed in 1998 Cauda Pavonis concentrated on writing — it was not until 1999 that they made their debut at the two-day festival Distopia 2, held at the ''Bristol Bierkeller''. Between the 2000 ''Pistols at Dawn'' album and the 2001 ''Controversial Alchemy'' album, the band was fairly quiet as in September 2000 the band's tour schedule came to a halt when Farr broke her ankle. Across 2001 and 2003 they continued to tour, taking their album ''Controversial Alchemy'' across the UK. In 2003 the line up was augmented by Chris Hines on guitars, and they gigged as a three-piece until the album ''Sigil'' was recorded. Shortly after the production of ''Sigil'' the band went back to the studio, and recorded two tracks for the TV show ''Magick Eve'' which the band then performed on the show. By 2005, the band had grown to a four-piece and released the EP ''Carnival Noir'' which was critically acclaimed by Mick Mercer in a full page article〔 〕 in his periodical ''The Mick'', along with a full page spread in Germany's ''Gothic'' magazine. In 2005 Cauda Pavonis produced their first music video for ''Carnival Noir''. This was filmed in the Full Moon with a group of friends and other members of the UK goth community. In 2006 the German J-Rock band Chudoku added a cover of "Love Like Broken Glass"〔(【引用サイトリンク】Chudoku">title=Chudoku )〕 from the album ''Controversial Alchemy'' to their live show. Between 2001 and 2006 the band were responsible for running regular live gig nights in Bristol at The Full Moon pub in Stokes Croft. These nights opened the South West gig circuit up to several unsigned goth bands and DJs. The nights stopped in 2006 when the venue fell out of alternative hands and was turned into a backpackers lodge. The band spent much of 2011 and 2014 supporting some of the great names of UK music who were touring including Chameleons Vox, and Simon Hinkler (The Mission). The also became a regular support act on Toyah album retrospective tours. During 2011 they released a single for the Forgotten Heroes charity.〔()〕 In 2012 they were first amongst their peers to use the Pledgemusic website to crowdfund their album ''Peace Through Superior Firepower''. 2012 also saw Adam Henderson (founding member and formerly of Inkubus Sukkubus) join the band as bass player and who stayed with them until April 2015 when he left to continue his own musical projects. In 2013 the band made it into print, aside from several previous magazine interviews between 1999 and 2013, by being featured in the co-authored work by Liz Williams and Trevor Jones, Diary of a Witchcraft Shop 2. In 2015 they produced their first download only EP, 'The Devil's Looking Glass'. This was unique in that it was not only delivered via a digital download card but that card itself was set in a Presentation Sleeve (a slightly oversized CD style square sleeve) to appeal to 'downloaders and collectors alike'. This appears to be the first production of such a presented format by a band.〔http://www.facebook.com/events/458244911026028〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cauda Pavonis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
