That's not at all impressive to me but they are easy on the eyes. I should probably mention I used to be a professional violinist but that fizzled out when I got a better paying job with benefits about 13 years ago. I have an old friend that plays cello with Cirque du Soleil in Vegas. I've been meaning to go see one of the shows she plays in.
I can't commend on the technical quality of their performance, but I found the underlying concept fascinating. I didn't know violins could make that sound.
I also didn't know that electric violins / bases existed. What's interesting to me is that, like electric guitars, they produce very little acoustic output. Most of the bands we get use big floor monitors, so you can hear them easily out in the hallway. These ladies brought their own stage mixer and in-ear monitor system, so while observing from inside Studio 1, you heard virtually nothing. I has to go down the hallway into the ban-mixing studio to actually hear their performance.
Correlation ≠ causation. I'm sure it was a put-on. At least, for the sake of humanity's future, I hope it was.
Reminds me of the story I was told about an idiot tow truck driver who got similarly stuck in the mud. His genius solution was to hitch his hoist to his own back axle. It was working too, until he pretzeled his frame.
