Scarlet Fever is an all-female backing band that toured with Cee Lo Green during 2010 and 2011. Originally formed for promotional tour events, the popularity of the "Fuck You" single and The Lady Killer album led to multiple television appearances reaching an audience of millions in Europe and North America. With Green, they performed full length concerts and as an opening act for other major performers.
Scarlet Fever was formed in May, 2010, for the Cee Lo Green promotional tour of "What Part of Forever" (from The Twilight Saga: Eclipse soundtrack). Auditions were held at the Musicians Institute located in Hollywood, California. This group was televised on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (June 14, 2010), and Lopez Tonight (June 30, 2010).
Additional auditions for keyboardist were held in August, 2010, and DANiiVORY née Theresa Flaminio joined the core group. Their first tour, performing singles from The Lady Killer album, began in Paris, France, with a televised appearance on Taratata. Other radio and satellite television appearances were taped for later broadcast on LeMouve, and Album de la semaine (Album of the week).
Their first concert performance at the Reeperbahn Festival trod the trail blazed by The Beatles in Hamburg, Germany. Their second concert appearance was a "surprise" addition to BBC 1Xtra Live from Wembley Arena in London, England.
