Cellofourte
Homecoming weekend was this week so there has been a lot of alumni around and stuff going on at pretty much all waking hours of the day. At the kick-off on Friday there was live music from a variety of bands, food, and all sorts of other stuff including Quasi the robot and fireworks! Cellofourte, a cello quartet from the Pittsburgh area, really caught my attention though.
Usually when you think cello you think classical music, but these guys were definitely not playing classical music. It’s a cross between rock and classical which makes for a unique blending of sound that will send chills up your spine. Seeing them live was mind blowing. You could tell they were really getting into because they would all standup and start headbanging–yes, headbanging. Coolest thing ever. Leave it to CMU to break the mold. Oh, did I mention they’re CMU alumni?
Definitely check them out on iTunes.
