The Courtesan's Playlist: Rasputina


Calling themselves a chamber-rock band, the haunting sounds of their voices and cello have made their way onto the soundtrack of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". Rasputina has toured with Porno for Pyros and Marilyn Manson. They pay their respects to history with references to Howard Hughes and the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire in their music as well as with fashion, wearing vintage corsets and garb in their shows. More recently, they had a song, "Coraline" on a Neil Gaiman tribute album.
