What, you've never heard of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra?
Well then
Trans-Siberian Orchestra (often abbreviated as
TSO) is a
rock orchestra founded by
Paul O'Neill,
Robert Kinkel, and
Jon Oliva in 1996. The band's musical style is often described in different terms, incorporating
progressive rock,
symphonic metal, and
heavy metal, with influences from
classical music. Trans-Siberian Orchestra is well known for its renditions of traditional
Christmas songs.
The have 4 major albums, 3 Christmas themed, and 1 of 'traditional' classical. I're working on having a new album for the summer of more non-Christmas music. Titled Night Castle, this one will have their rendation of "O Fortuna," which up till now you could only hear during their live shows and oh man is it awesome. This show tonight also featured an awesome Piano Duel. Also, a rock-orchestra version of Proud Mary.
They've played sold out live shown in my home town for over 5 years now, and every year the show is AWESOME. My city was the first to have TWO sold out TSo shows on the same day. We love us some TSO.
LOOK AT THIS AWESOMENESS!
The shows are long too, almost 3 hours of pure ROCK-AWESOMNESS.

They cast a shadow like a sundial in the morning light. It was half past 10.
Tell me when they do Hanukkah songs.
Then I'll be interested.

this guy no longer does that on his street, he has a huge setup and he charges $10 a car...you park and tune in with your car radio and he does 3 house setups at a time...they just build frames that look like houses and put lights on them
this is all about half a mile from my house now, pretty badass
He came in and was all, "Have you people ever heard of this Trans Siberian Orchestra? Holy crap. I saw these guys last night, it's like Christmas music mixed with Metallica, it. was. AWESOME."
I had known about them for years but he made me laugh.
That sounds sick.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
