Do you know about this group?

I love it. Do you have a modern musical group that covers songs in a unique way?

    The video you posted wouldn't play for me. :(

    So far, I like anything I've heard from the the group Petra Haden.

    Here's their kickass version of composer Bernard Herrmann's theme to the movie "Psycho." The video has HUGE, HUGE PLOT SPOILERS!!! to the movie, so if you haven't seen the movie, just close your eyes and listen.

    Hi easyjolene.
    :)
    Do you mean you like Petra Haden's vocals or the video clip itself? I'm assuming you mean the music itself -- yeah, in many ways, hearing this music performed only vocally is creepy!

    You're right, it's the music itself. This movie terrifies me all by itself, with this music, the clip is really creepy!!

    Sweet. Oh, is that too "old"? I don't care, it's sweet.

  • Omfg, I’ve seen that video at least half a dozen times and never noticed the pianist. He‘s probably all I’ll notice now. ;)

    Not really my taste, but very talented. And I often do enjoy cover versions. 

    I saw this cover performed live over 30 years ago. It was my introduction to the magic of Bob Dylan's music. I'll never forget it.

    I love Joan Osborne.  She covers others' songs in unusual and great arrangements.  She is a favorite of mine.

    I like your choice for this question.  Good band.


    This is my favorite video covering Somebody That I Used to Know.

    It's so excellent! I'm glad you posted it. Though I remembered the group here and their performance the moment I listened, I had sort of forgotten about them until listening.
    :)

    And, thanks to your suggestions, I often go and listen to Florence and The Machine.
