What other musical projects are Robin and Simon working on?
Robin is in a new band—a duo, actually—with Siobhan de Maré (formerly of Mono). They call themselves Violet Indiana, and they are quite excellent. Their first LP, released in 2001, was entitled Roulette. The follow-up to that record was released in 2004 and is called Russian Doll. For more information, visit the Violet Indiana page at the Bella Union Web site. Simon has released a critically-acclaimed solo record under his own name, entitled Blame Someone Else. It was released in 1997, and was the first release from Bella Union. In addition to his own songwriting, Simon spends a great deal of time running Bella Union, collaborating with and developing new artists.
