Rasputina
From MansonWiki, the Marilyn Manson encyclopedia
Rasputina is a cello rock band. It started in Brooklyn, New York in 1992, when Melora Creager put out an advertisement requesting members to form an all-cello band. Cellist Julia Kent responded and the two formed what was dubbed the Traveling Ladies' Cello Society.
The group is renowned for their unconventional and quirky music style and fascination with historical allegories and fashion, especially those pertaining to the Victorian era.
Creager writes all of the lyrics for Rasputina, performs most of the vocals, and creates some of the art for the band's albums, singles, and website.
