Clare Quilty (group)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Clare Quilty is an American musical group formed in Charlottesville, VA, USA, in 1994. Clare Quilty began as a pop-punk band but recent material veers more toward electronica and trip-hop. The band is named after a character in Vladimir Nabokov's 1955 novel, Lolita. Clare Quilty is Humbert Humbert’s nemesis, a rival for Lolita’s affections who first spies them in a hotel on their first night, later directs a play in which Lolita starred at her school, and finally tails them on their second cross-country trip to help Lolita escape (only to put her in porn films). Humbert Humbert tracks down and kills Clare Quilty, but dies in prison awaiting his trial.

The group scored two chart hits in 2003, "Dex Dubious" (DBC Mix) (US #33 Club Play) and "Tremble" (US #44 Club Play).[1]

Clare Quilty's newest album, Face the Strange, was produced by Richard Morel and was released by DCide Records in summer 2005. The band retired in January of 2006.
