Brisbane Powerhouse presents
Fourplay
Sat 1 Mar 08
Australia’s premier electric string quartet. goes rock'n'roll with a special late night concert.
It's almost impossible to pigeon-hole FourPlay. Originally a classical string quartet, FourPlay adopted pickups and distortion pedals to transform into the ultimate rock n roll string quartet. With a repertoire spanning the Beastie Boys, Jeff Buckley, Depeche Mode, Charles Mingus, Radiohead, The Strokes and their own originals, Fourplay present an eclectic mix of styles from rock, dub, folk, gypsy, klezmer, electronica, post-rock, jazz and improvisation.
Performing new music from their recent album, Now to the Future, FourPlay will give Restrung the ultimate rock treatment.
"More Metallica than Mozart. The first string quartet to have inspired moshing and crowd surfing." Sydney Morning Herald
"There are parallels with the taut propulsion of Philip Glass's music and with the ultra modern and sometimes quixotic Kronos Quartet. They spit in the eye of classical romanticism, chain-sawing into these songs and then throwing them together in new shapes." Rolling Stone
"like cinema for the ears." SBS Television
