Porto, Portugal (1991 – 2002)
Ornatos Violeta were an influential Portuguese alternative rock group whose music was informed as much by jazz and ska as the dominant guitar rock format of the time. The band was formed in the city of Porto, in 1991.
With Manel Cruz (vocals), Nuno Prata (bass), Peixe (guitar), Kinörm (drums) and Elísio Donas (keyboard) and only two albums, they quickly became a reference in Portuguese music at the end of the 90’s, despite the most successful part of their career lasting for only three years, ending when its members split up.
History
In 1997 they composed Cão (Dog!) their first album - which included the song Letra S, a duet with Manuela Azevedo, the vocalist of Clã - an album where the group showed, for the first time, an interest in exploring their broader influences and Cruz’s unique writing style, much to their fan’s and most of the national musical critics’, delight. In the following year, during the Expo 98 they collaborated in the compilation Tejo Beat which also highlighted Boss AC, Blasted Mechanism, Zen (band) and Flood (band) with the song ‘Tempo de Nascer’. Their last album, O Monstro Precisa De Amigos (The Monster Needs Friends), came out in 1999, with a more thought-through production, and generally speaking, a less active and calmer style. The album contained the singles ‘Ouvi Dizer’ (I heard around), a duet with the older Portuguese musician Vitor Espadinha, and Capitão Romance, with Gordon Gano, vocalist of the well-known Violent Femmes. It was also during that year that they helped to produce XX Anos XX Bandas, a tribute to the Portuguese band Xutos e Pontapés, with a cover of Xutos’ song Circo de Feras.

depois da coisa do ouvi dizer no idolos é pouco provavel que eles se juntem tão cedo, se estiverem a pensar nisso, de certo que não querem as más linguas a dizerem que se estão a aproveitar do renascimento deles por causa dos idolos... mas era bom, nem que sacassem uma cena à radiohead com a creep. uma pessoa assim contenta-se com zelig e foge foge bandido (até ao fim destar ultima tour)

Ou isso ou os Pluto. Um amigo meu foi ao Concerto do Foge Foge Bandido no Sá da Bandeira e falou com o Manel. Ele disse que os Pluto eram um projecto que ainda não tinha acabado. Espero mesmo que lancem um album novo. <3

Fixe fixe era eles reunirem -se para uma última digressão e aparecerem num dos festivais de verão. Tipo Paredes de Coura ou Super Bock, quiçá o Alive ou mesmo o Vilar de Mouros (se na realidade voltar, como dizem) ;D
