If you haven't heard of these guys you should type 2 Cellos into YouTube and watch them in action. We saw them back in 2012 at an Elton John concert, having never heard of them before. I was blown over by their talent. Not traditional classical music they have done covers of Micheal Jackson, Cold Play and Nirvana. We regularly listen to their album on Spotify and when I spotted they were doing their own solo tour and passing through Singapore I was straight in there buying tickets.
The first half of the show was the music we had heard before, the beautiful slow music mixed with the pop and rock songs from their album. They were sporting 2 stunning looking electric cellos and a drum kit sat empty behind them.
Half way through the drum kit owner came onto the stage to join them and before we knew it we were rocking along to music from Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones. The light weight electric cellos were being flung around like guitars and the drummer was is full flow throwing out the base. Amazingly talented guys and a hell of a lot of fun!
I think I saw these guys being interviewed on a chat show a few years ago... I meant to find out more about them but got involved with something else and then that was it!
