American (1986 – present)
black tape for a blue girl is an American act formed in 1986. Their music incorporates elements of dark cabaret, gothic, rock, ethereal, ambient and neo-classical music.
Fronted by Projekt Records’ Sam Rosenthal, the band’s lineup has changed significantly over time. The current lineup has Rosenthal on programming, guitar and keyboards, Brian Viglione (The Dresden Dolls) on percussion, guitar & bass, and vocalists Athan Maroulis (ex-Spahn Ranch), Laurie Reade (ex-Attrition) and Nicki Jaine. The most notable former members of the band are their long time vocalists, Oscar Herrera & Elysabeth Grant. Former Cellist, Mera Roberts, is currently the lead singer/multi-instrumentalist for Mercurine and Oblivia.
The style of black tape for a blue girl is generally described as “gothic”, though their long catalog of music does not often gel with all of the contemporary standards of gothic or darkwave music over time. The lyrics are by Rosenthal himself and explores powerful emotions of love, vulnerability, isolation, loss, jealousy, and passion.

"Sometimes I just can't stand the people who says the word "relaxing" in referring to this band's music. I mean, a band like this with a sound filled with grief should not be relaxing! it should open up your wounds and make you think again of them. Love those guys." What's disturbing to some is relaxing to others.

Greatest goth band ever. I don't throw the word "greatest" around much either.

Sometimes I just can't stand people who pick apart other's opinions. I mean a song which doesn't have a distinct beat and therefore lacking in energy (read: not a bad thing), not to mention a subdued overall sound can be easily relaxing; it certain goes on when I'm trying to sleep more than the Cure or Bella Morte (first to bands to come to mind...).
