Many great things exist in the city of New York. And there are numbers of talented musicians, artists, actors and others who make their way to New York for their career. It draws to it some of the greatest talent in the country as well as throughout the world. And it also produces some of the best right there at home. Rasputina is a cello based rock band that originated in Brooklyn, New York. Tourists who visit the city and stay in one of the hotels NY frequently discover favorite new bands, artists and plays while they are there, and Rasputina has been one of them.

The band started when solo cellist Melora Creager decided she wanted to form and all cello group and put out an ad seeking additional members. Creager was already an established musician and had performed regularly with Nirvana. In addition it should be clarified that Creager was not born in New York, she was one of the artists that was drawn to it to go to Parsons School of Design. It is the band Rasputina that was established in Brooklyn. Throughout the years, Rasputina has gone through a number of musicians and it is currently composed of three people. They are Creager, Daniel DeJesus and Sarah Bowman.

Oh Perilous World is the six album from the trio and Creager wrote the songs for it. These are based on circumstances from the last two years that have seemed more bizarre than stories from history. The songs on the album are created from and in response to major world events and stories. This is an interesting contrast to most of Creager’s and the band’s music which is based on stories and tales from history. They have maintained a steadily increasing fan base and are excellent role models for young string players who may be seeking an alternative to strictly classical performance.
