Cellorific
For over a decade, Rasputina's been making an unlikely mix of guitar rock heroes, classical music snobs, and mopey-faced goth kids swoon. Take equal parts historically obsessed histrionics, fantastic corsetry, and licks that would make Jimmy Page proud, and it's easy to see why. Add the fact that the New York-based trio is entirely made up of two cello-playin' gals and a drummer, and you've got yerself a deal, mister.
Rasputina is currently touring in support of their sixth and latest full-length album, Oh Perilous World, which finds the band mixing up their usual chamber rock doings with a fair amount of allegorical theatrical numbers. Dare we say it: a musical? Don't worry -- once ringleader Melora Creager plugs in her cello, it's obvious the band hasn't lost any of its cajones.
Catch them at their upcoming show with opener Jana Hunter at the Abbey Pub on Sunday, July 8.
