Porto, Portugal (1991 – 2002)
Ornatos Violeta were a Portuguese alternative rock group whose music included some other influences, such as jazz and ska. 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 on the end of the 90’s, though the most successful part of their career lasted only for 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 (another successful Portuguese band) - an album where the group showed, for the first time, to be keen to explore a mixed sound, with 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 in which participated also 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 carefully-thought production, and generally speaking, a less active and calmer style. The album contained the singles Ouvi Dizer, 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.

Ornatos brilha maioritariamente pelas suas boas letras. Linda Martini, bem, é post-rock, se é que há letra numa música... é muito pouca. Por isso é um pouco difícil comparar as duas bandas :p

Sim, agora que vejo bem não foi a melhor escolha de palavras :B não pretendia ofender nenhuma das bandas, acho-as excelentes cada uma à sua maneira, e tinha ouvido apenas uma ou duas deles quando comentei xD as minhas desculpas.

O único problema foi mesmo o facto de teres referido "muito Linda Martini" quando não têm qualquer relação e as bandas não são as influências de cada uma. Se é que me entendes.

eles não vão tocar juntos :( vão ser actuação separadas infelizmente. "toca o Manel, depois toco eu, depois toca o Peixe, depois tocam os Plus Ultra (depois vêm os DJ, depois — ou entretanto — vai cada um para sua casa). " é pena. http://nunoprata.blogspot.com/
