IGX

These two eastern European types tearing the shit out of cellos to a bunch of rock standards. Thunderstruck was a personal fav. On second thought maybe a tiny bit homo but still you've got to appreciate the skill.

They're following in the footsteps of Kronos Quartet.

That is completely fucking gay WGM, christ.

I used to play Kronos Quartet on my old radio show, usually mixed with other shit. The stuff I had didn't contain any covers though.

If you put 2Cellos or Section Quartet or Vitamin String Quartet into Pandora you will get a ton of similar string cover groups.

There's a Sirius/XM channel that plays all string covers too.

Also Shape, it is a new age. A little homo or even full homo is all good braaaahh.

I like to think IGX has been chipping away at the gay resistance for years and I think a simple perusal of the training forum topics over the past however long should validate that. Plus gay beefcake historians abound here.

I'm just playin' T. I thought I was relatively hip on the music scene but I'm embarrassed to say I totally missed this genre. I just saw this 2Cello stuff a few weeks ago...I think somebody posted it on my FB feed. Blown away when I saw it.

My new lady jam.

I wish they'd play this at the Grammies while they sacrifice Miley Cyrus to a pack of wolves.

I'm not on trial here.

It's no secret that I'm hugely keen on cross-genre covers.

I'd rather listen to Seasick Steve on a 3 string guitar.

Ensemble Ambrosius. Baroque Frank Zappa cover band.

From Wiki: "Ensemble Ambrosius is a Finnish chamber music group that plays modern music on baroque instruments. It originated in 1995 when three music students performed music of Frank Zappa at a school concert."

I think this whole album is on Spotify for free.

Andy, you knew Mozart. What would he think of this music?

Shape. He'd think it's amateurish except for Seasick Steve.

That's pretty goddamn cool WGM.

These guys are great. And this Motown cover of Nickelback is proof positive that you can in fact polish a turd.
