Eye Candy And Cellos

I was reading Eric Edberg’s blog and went over on his recommendation to the site of The Portland Cello Project.
Its first impression is great and very visually pleasing.
The front page has a slide show of the participants of this project, in some expected and some unexpected positions and situations.

The exceptional photographer of at least some of the pictures, this one included is Alicia J Rose.

the day we’ve been waiting for since last January when we finished up this record is finally happening! Our CD of mostly collaborations with Portland musicians is finally going to be released! And if you’re in Portland on Friday, 08/08/08, you’ll be able to get a copy 4 days before it’s out nationally *and* get to see what will be our largest show ever (by far) at the Aladdin Theater. The show will feature a bunch of our old friends who played with us on the record, many of whom will be doing brand new songs with us: Laura Gibson, Weinland, Loch Lomond, Hurtbird, Heather Broderick, Musee Mecanique, 3 Leg Torso - and for those of you who saw us at the PDX Pop Now! Festival, John Brophy will be performing what future scholars will one day call “The Brophy ‘Toxic’” with us and what Ritchie Young yesterday called “one of the most important songs of our time.”

I love there look and no doubt will love the sound as well.
