Psychedelic
rock band lined-up in 1984 in São Paulo, they started making a
reputation in the underground scene in the next year, when they recorded
a demo tape with the songs "Outono", "Dia Eterno", "Declínio de Maio"
and "Reflexos da Noite". The tape got heavy rotation on alternative
radio stations in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. In 1986, they recorded a
three-track EP on Wop Bop Discos and signed up to RCA (currently BMG)
in 1987, releasing the debut album "Violeta de Outono". After the
package named "The Early Years" (comprised of a cassette tape, a EP and a
libretto), the follow-up album, "Em Toda Parte", came about in 1989. In
1991, vocalist and guitarist Fábio Golfetti left the band to dedicate
to the instrumental project Ópera Invisível, releasing a solo album,
"Glissando Spirit", two years later on the label Low Life. VIOLETA made a
comeback in 1994, recording new demo tapes and a new album, but they
ended up releasing "Eclipse", with live recordings from 1986. The album
with new songs, "Mulher na Montanha", was released in 1999 on the
English label Voiceprint, featuring recordings made four years before.
