Valentine Wolfe
Valentine Wolfe is a Victorian Chamber Metal Duo consisting of Sarah (Vocals and Electronics) and Braxton (Double Bass and Electronics). By incorporating elements of Dark Cabaret and Dark Wave, the music blends many genres and influences together to create sounds that are aggressive and anachronistic.
Valentine Wolfe features sultry and ethereal operatic vocals, electronically manipulated solo double bass and industrial dance beats. The band has played venues ranging from bars to libraries to art galleries, which reflects the creative versatility of the band.
In 2009, they released their first EP, Five Nocturnes. Subsequently, the band played their first Halloween shows to great acclaim, collaborating with burlesque and sideshow performers and theater groups along the way. In 2013, Valentine Wolfe released a graphic novel plus CD collaboration with Jacob Wenzka which was funded in part by a grant from the Metropolitan Arts Council in Greenville, SC. They have also worked with the Warehouse Theater in Greenville, SC providing original music for several of their productions of Shakespeare plays including The Merchant of Venice, Twelfth Night, and The Tempest. Valentine Wolfe is currently preparing new songs for a rock opera set in a Poison Garden modeled after the Alnwick Poison Garden.
