Who is this Group??

[Black wallnut]

This group is a bunch of women playing strings. Music is rather fast paced almost classical. I've seen them in XXX- State of the Union, at the cocktail party scene.

Every time I find that movie while surfing I just have to watch hoping to catch the music. The rest of the movie is good too.

You gave no link.
Bond, perhaps?
Young 20-something women, playing classical acoustic violins, violas, cellos and sometimes electric ones. Classical Music to a fast pop beat. Have made commercials for pricey French or Swiss watches, etc.

This is a Bond music video:

Went to imdb and pulled the film, all four are listed but I picked the first one. Then went and googled her name. Yep, it's bond. I have one of there CD's, great music.

Never heard of Bond before but I’ll be looking to buy some of their music … thanks for the link.

Never heard of them either, but they are a joy to listen to and watch!

[Black wallnut]

Thanks Loring! That be the group. I could sit and listen to them for hours. LOML thought they had "light" in their name hence my inability to find it.

I have 2 of their cd's in my car, every week when make my 90 mile trip back and forth if I start to get sleepy I start one of them and turn up the sound and the trip goes fast.

Wow -- pretty cool. My list of wildly attractive female violinists is getting longer by the day. (Lara St. John - mostly baroque & pure genius, Mairead Nesbitt - Irish, Martie Maguire, Lucia Micarelli, Alison Krauss...) Great stuff!

[OpaDC]

Have quite a few of their songs on the ipod. Love their take on the classics. Here's a little tip though... Don't listen to them while cutting (I have headphones I use a lot during projects), my feet won't stand still so I have to wait for the song to end.

ooh, yeah, girl violinists are sexy.

You need to look at Vanessa Mae...

and a bunch more.
Much better than Bond (musically, also I think more mature-looking)

And I love the Corrs, ever give them a listen- not really classical more like Irish traditional/contemporary with some violining thrown in. Here's one with Sharon (one of the four Corrs - 3 sisters and one brother) doing some fiddling and Andrea singing and Caroline drumming:

Maybe someone can tell me what the brother-what's his name- does.


Anybody love girl drummers?

[Mrs. Wallnut]

Thanks Loring! That be the group. I could sit and listen to them for hours. LOML thought they had "light" in their name hence my inability to find it.

Yeah he likes to blame things on....well I won't say too much. Thanks for getting us the right group he was looking for. Because I think I am going to buy a CD or two of theirs, because I know that I can put that in at work and stay motivated and awake for the whole night.

Oh, yeah -- you can pick 'em! I love the little smile when the orchestra comes in. (Although I can't imagine what Bach would think of it! )

Corrs are great, too -- esp that last one. Thanks for the links!

[ironhat]

Thanks for plugging us in, Loring. Very nice stuff. I seldom buy CDs but they are both on the short list!

An aside question. On the youtube vids there are URL and an Embed links. What are their respective uses?

[BigguyZ]

Not Bad. I can't look at the youtube vids at work (they now block streaming video sites), but I was able to find 2 used CDs on Amazon Market Place for a total of $13 shipped. Listened to the 30 second clips that Amazon has, and figured if I don't like the full songs I'm not out much.
