NOT YOUR MOTHER'S STRING QUARTET

After posting the previous blog, Delightful Mia got me to thinking I should actually post a video of Apocalyptic. The first time I actually saw them in a video, after listening to their music for several years, was a shock to say the least. Is it even legal to do this to a cello?  I hope you enjoy both the sight and the sound, or at least one or the other.  Enjoy!!

  7. A stringed instrument is a stringed instrument... Still, the juxtaposition of the stodgy cello with the trappings of hard rock is an interesting site.

  18. Did you know, John, that Apocalyptica is a Finnish group? Aren't they amazing! They have done pretty great performances with HIM and The Rasmus as well.
