Blues in Space

Bio:

"Are Blues in Space a metal band? Art rock? Avante garde? Yes, all of the above and more." Led by New York City based cellist Rubin Kodheli www.RubinKodheli.com, Blues in Space is quickly rising to the fore-front of a new avant-rock movement. As a solo artist and graduate of Juilliard, Rubin has made a name for himself performing with Roberta Flack, Henry Threadgill, Wyclef Jean, Karlie Bruce, Norah Jones, Vampire Weekend, Dave Douglas, Makoto Ozone, Wadada Leo Smith, Joan Labarabara. Most importantly their debut E.P is both raw and elegant. Working with engineer Shane Stoneback(of Vampire Weekend and Bon Jovi fame), the production value is absolutely huge with the layers and waves of sonorities, but also intimate as if you were listening to the band in a tiny performance space. With genre breaking bits of hard rock, free improvisation, pop and jazz, the lush harmonies and counter melodies from the cello bring a new dynamic not heard often. ..Blues in Space
