My trip to Key West was a ton of fun. While there, I got to play a few songs for my friends which they all really enjoyed. Wednesday night, we went to Mallory Square at sunset to see the street performers do their thing. My friends who I was with work in the Renaissance Festival as swordsmen and an acrobat, so they were judging the shows with a more critical eye but they really enjoyed what was going on. Then I drove back REALLY early thursday morning to make it to BC in time for my music history test, which I think I did really well on. And after a nap, I went to see Apocalyptica at The Culture Room last night. Apocalyptica is a band of four cello players (but one of them, Mikko, plays drums most of the time instead of cello) and they play music ranging from beautiful classical compositions to heavy metal! The band is from Finland and they started off playing Metallica covers on four cellos and they got a big sized following for that. Then, they started writing their own music in this style, often featuring different singers from rock bands. They're a unique band and they were very entertaining live. Here are some links for their music :)
