The East Village Opera Company does rock versions of famous opera arias. The band is composed of keyboards, guitar, bass, drum, string trio, and two vocalists.

We saw them live a few months ago, and at first I was skeptical. However, it turns out that they ROCK. It’s not cool, ironic, indie rock. It’s eighties-style guitar shredding rock. The first concert was so good, we saw them again last night.

Definitely worth seeing.
