HIM’s Ville Valo Looks at Life Through Dark Ray-Bans, Loves ’60s Girl Groups
HIM frontman Ville Valo of all people is complaining about the cold in his native Finland on the day in late March when we connect on the phone. The cold, dark, dreary, glass-half-full-and-laced-with-poison mentality is the goth rock band's stock in trade, so it was certainly humorous to hear Valo, a darkly handsome figure and figurehead for the disaffected and lovelorn who have prefer the romanticization of heartbreak to romance itself, bemoan the dank weather!
