Origin of the name

Translated as ''Vilma Palma and Vampires'', the name was taken from a graffiti written over the metallic shutters of a closed furniture store by its former employees, calling out the manager: "Vilma Palma e Hijos Vampiros de los Obreros" (''Vilma Palma and Sons, Vampires of the Workers''). With time, the graffiti vanished until the words "Vilma Palma e Vampiros" remained by 1991. This explanation makes for the grammatical error in the name: ''e'' is used instead of ''y'' (as ''and'') only when followed by a word starting with ''i-'' or ''hi-'' (unless ''i-'' or ''hi-'' are followed by any other vowel).
