''Les Horribles Cernettes'' ((:le.z‿ɔʁiblə sɛʁnɛt), "The Horrible CERN Girls") was an all-female parody pop group, self-labelled "the one and only High Energy Rock Band", founded by employees of CERN which performed at CERN and other HEP related events. Their musical style is often described as doo-wop. The initials of their name, LHC, are the same as those of the Large Hadron Collider which was later built at CERN.〔 〕〔 〕〔 〕 Their humorous songs are freely available on their website. ==History== ''Les Horribles Cernettes'' was founded in 1990 by Michele de Gennaro, a graphic designer at CERN, whose romantic relationship with a physicist was made difficult by his numerous shifts. She attracted attention by stepping on stage during the CERN Hardronic Festival,〔(CERN Hardronic Festival )〕 singing "Collider", a melancholy song about the lonely nights endured by the girlfriend of a high energy physicist (excerpt):
The group was subsequently formed with the help of Silvano de Gennaro, an analyst in the Computer Science department at CERN, who wrote additional songs. The fame of ''Les Horribles Cernettes'' grew and they were invited to international Physics conferences and The World'92 Expo in Seville, as well as celebrations such as Georges Charpak's Nobel Prize party. They received press coverage from numerous newspapers, including ''The New York Times'', ''The Herald Tribune'', ''La Tribune de Genève'', and the ''CERN Courier''.〔(Press Info: Press Features ) Les Horribles Cernettes〕 The band's lineup has changed over time, but they were performing under the same name until 21 July 2012, when the band had its final performance, which was at CERN's Hardronic Festival in Switzerland.〔(A Real Smash Hit! )〕〔(This is it! ) Les Horribles Cernettes〕 Les Cernettes were the subject of the first photo on the Web:〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Crossdressing, Compression, and Colliders: 'The First Photo on the Web' )〕
Silvano had taken the picture above on July 18, 1992.〔(How the first photo was posted on the Web 20 years ago ), Andrew Hough, The Telegraph, 11 July 2012〕 The band went into hiatus when Silvano and Michele moved away from the CERN area and officially disbanded in late July 2012, after performing at the CERN Hardronic Festival on the 21st. However, Lynn Veronneau has since embarked upon a serious solo career, recording French language versions of popular standards. 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「Les Horribles Cernettes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
