A band formed in [California] in the early [1980s], fronted by [Johnette Napolitano] ([vocalist], [songwriter], and [bassist]).

They are best known for their 1990 album [Bloodletting], which featured one radio hit, [Joey], and many other songs that are popular in the "[gothic]" scene, such as [The Vampire Song] and [Tomorrow, Wendy]. Bloodletting is one of those CDs that you buy [on a whim], [fall in love] with, listen to [all the way through], and you think you're the only one because it wasn't really [commercially successful], and then a few years later you realize that somehow all of your [peers] own it also, and you wonder exactly how that happened.

To this day, in South Florida, if [The Vampire Song] or [Walking In London] are played at [alternative] clubs, you will get trampled to death in the wake of all the [goth chick]s heading for the [dance floor].
