| | Rasputina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Creager writes all of the lyrics for Rasputina, performs all of the vocals, and does all of the cover art for the albums. | | | She has two recordings, a cd called One Cello x 16: Natoma, and an EP titled One Cello × 16. | | | On their second full-length album, How We Quit the Forest, Rasputina signed on Chris Vrenna (from Nine Inch Nails) as their drummer and producer, resulting in songs with more distortion, drums, and strange sound effects. |

| | Passive aggressiveness key to Rasputina - Arts |
| | The bands best known song is "Transylvanian Concubine" from the album "Thanks for the Ether." The song was included on the soundtrack for the TV show "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," and was remixed by Marilyn Manson, who is a fan of the band. | | | Rasputina has gained a strong and loyal following on the strength of their live shows and the four albums they have released. | | | Since 2000, they have released two more albums on Instinct Records, "Cabin Fever" and "Frustration Plantation." For the debut release on their own label, Filthy Bonnet, they have recently released "A Radical Recital," a high quality live album complete with songs from all four albums, cover songs and Creager's hilarious mini-stories in between songs. |

| | Rasputina got something of a break when Marilyn Manson took them on tour as an opening act in 1996, introducing the band to new listeners all across the country. | | | Melora Creager is the mastermind behind New York-based Rasputina, a goth rock three-piece, made up of two cellists and a drummer, that is just as much fun to look at as it is to listen to. | | | Rasputina, made up of Jonathan Tebeest on drums, Zoe Keating on cello and Melora Creager on cello and vocals, plays in Chicago. |

| | Ectophiles' Guide - Rasputina |
| | I love Rasputina (all except the ghastly remixes "Transylvanian Regurgitations" done by Marilyn Manson--or was I supposed to hate them because they sound just like their title and I loved the original song, "Transylvanian Concubine"), and find their albums delightful every time I listen to them. | | | They did a wild and wonderful cover of "Brand New Key" on their first album and conveyed the utter strangeness of the lyrics beautifully. | | | This disc starts with one of Rasputina's strangest most discordant songs, "Doomsday Averted": weird and unsettling. |

| | All Things Strings:Rasputina |
| | Rasputina released two CDs in the late '90s, Thanks for the Ether and How We Quit the Forest, plus Transylvanian Regurgitations, a four-song EP of recordings remixed by Marilyn Manson, with whom the band toured at the peak of his Antichrist Superstar infamy. | | | Except for percussion, the cello remains the only instrument in most of Rasputina's songs. | | | Juggling motherhood and a career as a touring musician is always a challenge, and music presents its own unique complications. |

| | Rasputina: A Radical Recital - PopMatters Music Review |
| | This might be the CD that makes Rasputina the first band to break out of the cello rock ghetto since the Electric Light Orchestra. | | | By the fourth song, "Signs of the Zodiac", the band slows down somewhat, so that the cellos sound like cellos and Rasputina sounds more like an indie-rock band than a hard rock or punk band. | | | And while it is almost required for a quasi-classical band to do rock covers in live shows, Rasputina does not disappoint with their renditions of Heart's "Barracuda" and Led Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll". |

| | Rasputina: Frustration Plantation - PopMatters Music Review |
| | Rasputina's trademark Gothic chamber rock is featured less strongly here than on previous albums, though they still do the haunting vocals and groaning cellos thing better than anybody -- well, okay, nobody else does it, but you know what I mean. | | | But it helps even more that Creager, as a singer and songwriter, is on a roll. | | | The whole Rasputina concept would have fallen apart long ago if this weren't the case; instead, it just seems to get better with each album. |

| | The disturbing allure of Rasputina that is evident on their albums is best experienced live. | | | From their laced ankle boots and corsets to the moans of their instruments, Rasputina fused the classical with the modern, putting a spin on rock and roll far beyond what Metallica hoped to accomplish with their "S&M" album. | | | With the drummer, Jonathon, relegated to the back of the stage, Zoe and Melora were the focus of attention, and they deserved every moment of it. |

| | For those of you who have never heard of Rasputina, they are basically a power-goth-rock band, with female vocals and the instrument of choice being the cello. | | | The opening track, "Doomsday Averted," is classic Rasputina: dark, plodding and delicate, with things equally spooky and pristine frolicking about. | | | Unfortunately, that level is never achieved again on this album. |

| | Rasputina is three New York cellists (Julia Kent, Agnieszka Rybska and frontwoman Melora Creager) who play minor-key waltzes in a slightly gothic style that mixes music hall, chamber music, and pop. | | | The nineteen compositions of Thanks For The Ether (Columbia 1996), including debut single Transylvania Concubine (Oculus, 1995), often end up sounding like the Penguin Cafe` Orchestra fronted by Nico with arrangements by John Cale. |
