Rasputina

Rasputina is a "cello rock" ensemble composed of singer/cellist Melora Creager, and various, frequently changing band members. The current lineup includes Creager (cello), Daniel Dejesus (cello), and Dawn Miceli (drums). Founded by Creager in 1992, they have long held true to their mission of enlightening the common man as to the power and versatility of the mighty cello. Historically influenced, and constantly costumed, Rasputina keeps a small legion of incredibly passionate admirers enthralled with their earnest musicianship.

Ed Cottam

Imagine what a quintessentially Victorian Englishman would sound like after being affected by Nick Cave's whole back catalogue. "His voice is incredibly distinct, a bit reminiscent of Antony and the Johnsons (he's probably fed up of being described thus) but my knowledge of haunting melodramatic singers is limited. It's kind of like you'd think Adgar Allen Poe might sing like, resonant and melancholy and a touch gothic and fragile." As written by some fellow on the EFestivals Website.
