Black Tape For A Blue Girl

Black Tape for a Blue Girl é uma banda de Darkwave/Ethereal formada em New York Estados Unidos, 1986.

Liderado pelo empresário da Projekt Records Sam Rosenthal, os integrantes da banda mudaram significativamente durante todos estes anos.
O estilo de black tape for a blue girl é geralmente descrito como “gótico”, mas a banda nem sempre fazia músicas góticas ou darkwave.
