Classical Music Sucks...Right? WRONG!!!

Raise your hand if you think Classical Music sucks. Yeah...that's what I thought you'd all say. Well, get ready to be proven WRONG!

Let me introduce you to an Australian group called "Aston". Here's a little bit of info about them:

Aston’s musical vision is as simple as it is breathtakingly beautiful: to present a set of classic and contemporary songs like no one has ever heard them before. Contemporary classics presented as classical music.

The six members of Aston, aged between 21 and 23, have come straight out of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, the most distinguished music school in Australia. Some members are not due to graduate until the end of the year, but they are all already professional young musicians of the highest calibre. What began as a side-project amongst a bunch of students created an instant buzz that’s led to ASTON being signed by Warner Music Australia, recording a debut album and now preparing to take their unique modern classical sound out to audiences across Australia and the rest of the world.


Here's a sample of what they can do...it's their take on Lady GaGa's hit "Telephone":
