Rasputina - The Pregnant Concert
Knitting Factory, Williamsburg
September 13, 1909
CD contains 1hour & 10 minutes of all the laughs and tears
of this most memorable recital. If you listen very
carefully, you might hear Ivy singing with Melora.
The New York City-based trio Rasputina was led by
singer/songwriter Melora Creager, a classically-trained
cellist who backed Nirvana on the group's final tour. In
1992, Creager placed a want ad seeking other cellists to
form a rock band; among those responding was Canadian
musician Julie Kent, and with the later addition of Polish
native Agnieszka Rybska, Rasputina was born. The three
cellists' image further developed by the addition of
tightly-laced vintage Victorian costumes, their gothic
chamber-pop soon caught the attention of Sony, who issued
the group's debut Thanks for the Ether in 1996;
Transylvanian Regurgitations, an EP featuring remixes by
fan Marilyn Manson, appeared a year later, and in 1998
Rasputina resurfaced with How We Quit the Forest. By the
new millennium, Rybska and Kent had been replaced with
Nana Bornant and K. Cowperthwaite. A deal with Instinct
surfaced in 2001 and the magical mystery of Cabin Fever
appeared the following spring. Bornant's stay was brief;
she left in June 2002 and Cowperthwaite followed four
months later. Zoe Keating (cello) and first ever male
bandmate Jonathon TeBeest were quickly added to the
beautiful chaos of Rasputina just in time for the 2003
release of the Lost & Found EP. Frustration Plantation,
their most cohesive work to date, appeared in spring 2004.
In 2007 the group released Oh Perilous World, a
loosely-connected song suite culled from newspaper
clippings that lead singer Melora Creager gathered over a
two year period, then juxtaposed with the band's signature
18th century steampunk imagery.
