Who are they? Rasputina - or the Travelling Ladies Cello
Society; headed by Melora Creager, Julie Kent, and
Agnieszka Rybska, have been entertaining crowds since 1992,
when Melora placed an ad requesting cellists for a rock
band. Julia Kent, originally a Canadian, responded, and
Rasputina was born. So why do they call themselves
Rasputina? According to Melora, "We had a song called
Rasputina; I was just into Rasputin at the time, and it
seemed to have all the perfect connotations for who we
wanted to be, or what we were trying to do." The two were
having trouble rounding out their trio until Agnieszka
Rybska, originally from Poland, responded to their ad.
What then? Well, Melora describes it this way: "We haven't
gotten any reaction or affection from indie kind More...

------ About the song Girls' School performed by Rasputina
Rasputina's lyrics are amazing. It's really tiring to hear so many bands going on about how they are lovesick or heartbroken, and it's nice to find some substance in lyrics. :) I can make a whole story in my head from Rasputina's lyrics.

------ About the song A Quitter performed by Rasputina
i think this song is about isolation. the one person that brought her joy, her son, the one person she was connected to, died in front of her. when she talks about things like the friends she never had, it seems like shes lonely and is seeing how empty her life is without her boy. i dont have children. but i feel for this song. the lonely feelings really hit me hard

------ About the song Tourniquet performed by Rasputina
I really like what they've done with Marilyn Manson's work; the fact that they reversed the speaker's position compared to the original was a great touch, too.
The cello-percussion combination fits with the feel of the song perfectly. Definitely one of Rasputina's best songs.

------ About the song The New Zero performed by Rasputina
I love this song. It was obviously written about a woman who is taken to the Ice Hotel in Quebec, Canada(only one that exsist in the world) by a Fuzzy who is her boyfriend, and she also brings her dildo whose batteries leak inside her while she's using it and produce her a son with fins, then it flashes back to the amazing sex her and the fuzzy had....... Or they were on acid.

------ About the song The New Zero performed by Rasputina
Yeah, we know how to spell that word. This song....horrible. I mean, If I have ever heard trash music in my life, this is it. Never have I hated a song so much that I wanted it not only to not exist but for the band to die off as well. It is the worst piece of putrid garbage that has ever been made and you should all be ashamed of yourselves.

------ About the song A Quitter performed by Rasputina
Obviously. I can totally feel for this song though. Nowadays, everyone's in cliques, judge you by your appearance and care how good their reputation is instead of enjoying themselves. So things like "The friends I never had" and etc. Just makes me feel for the song so badly.

------ About the song A Quitter performed by Rasputina
This song is sad. I knew someone who killed themselves in high school. It hits home. Kids are f**king brutal.
Jack Yellen wrote the song and Vivian Ellis composed it. however, i think that rasputina didnt use the original melody, because it was wirtten in 1930.

------ About the song Call Me Alice (life 101) performed by Rasputina
Rasputina? Um, actually, this song's title is LIfe 101, and was written and performed by a new band called Call Me Alice. Granted, they sound almost identical to Rasputina and Switchblade Symphony, but they are, in fact, another band.
Great song, though. Too bad they're so obscure; I'd like to hear more of their music.
I love this song; but I've heard that the band (Melora, that is) didn't actually write it. Can anyone tell me the author/composer(s) of this song? I've just gotten maddeningly curious about this. Thanks in advance...
I have always loved Neil Peart's(of Rush)Lyrics. And the lyricist of Rasputina is more then likely on par with him! Powerful, painful; a manifesto could be drafted from the words of Rasputina.
I heard this song off of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Soundtrack and loved it! It has such a mysterious sound I had to know what the lyrics were!!!!
I love it!!
Rasputina totally rocks! Totally alternative lifestyle/mindset. I have been into Rasputina for just over a year. I heard about them on a podcast I listen to called The Dawn And Drew Show. Ever since then, I have been "hooked". I have heard a lot of their work, and it is, I think, phenomenal. Got tickets to see their show on 07/12/07, in Denver, it's going to rock. Totally awesome.

------ About artist/band Rasputina
I've always been really into classical music, (like boccherini, who no one has ever heard of). I play the cello, and one day I just had this thought, like, "Why can't you play rock on the cello?" So I looked it up on the internet and found out that "Cello rock" is actually a genre of music, and that Rasputina plays it. From the moment I listened to my first Rasputina song "Rose K." I was hooked. I can't stop listening to it, and I'm hoping to form my own "cello rock" band.
