Darling Violetta is a dark pop band based in Hollywood, California. Their name is taken from the salutation used by Bela Lugosi in letters to his mistress, Violetta Napierska. The band released their first EP ''Bath-Water-Flowers'' in 1997, though this work is commonly considered an album by most sources. Two songs were performed by the band in the episode "Faith, Hope & Trick" of the television series ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer'' (season 3, episode 3), "Blue Sun" from ''Bath-Water-Flowers'' and "Cure" from ''The Kill You EP.'' The following year, the band, with producer Holly Knight, composed and recorded the theme for ''Angel'', the spinoff series from ''Buffy''. In 1999, Darling Violetta released ''The Kill You EP'' and a music video for its song "Spoiled and Rotten." In 2003, they released the album ''Parlour''. In 2005, the band composed an extended version of the ''Angel'' theme called "The Sanctuary Extended Remix", featured on the soundtrack of the series ''Angel: Live Fast, Die Never''. The style of the band is recognizable for the voice of singer Cami Elen (compared by some critics to that of PJ Harvey),〔()〕 the use of cello, particularly in their early compositions, and lyrics charged with sexual innuendo, dark metaphor and goth references. Darling Violetta's song "I Want to Kill You", produced by Holly Knight, from ''The Kill You EP'' was licensed by Activision for their game, ''Vampire: The Masquerade – Redemption''. They also contributed another song to the Masquerade Universe which was in ''Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines'' entitled "Smaller God" from the album ''Parlour''. In the Fall of 2009, Thomas and Elen reported recording songs for their fourth as yet untitled release.〔(Darling Violetta twitter account )〕 ==Band members== *Cami Elen - Vocals *Jymm Thomas - Guitar Former members: *Atto Attie - Bass *Steve McManus - Drums *Chris Pott - Bass Featured Players: *Gerri Sutyak - Cello *Michael Renninger - Bass 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「Darling Violetta」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
