Rasputina

Booking Agent : Wade Black

Rasputina is the pioneering rock cello trio founded by Melora Creager. Bringing amplification and distortion to the cello, the band combines striking historical imagery with songs that make fantastical situations and events personal, touching, sometimes heavy and sometimes funny.

After Creager toured Europe with Nirvana in 1994, Rasputina signed to Columbia/Sony and released Thanks for the Ether and How We Quit the Forest. Their song “Transylvanian Concubine” appeared in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, introducing the band to a new audience.

Decades of touring and independent releases on Filthy Bonnet Recording Co. followed. Rasputina’s distinctive visual world draws on crafting, corsetry and needlework, with costumes that have evolved from Victorian whites to eras of history that show power and beauty.

The current lineup brings together Melora Creager, Polly Panic and Ryder Cooley: Rasputina, The Traveling Ladies’ Cello Society.
