A Capella | "On The Rocks"

[Aukiman]

It may suprise most of you to know that amongst my dance music and punk band tracks I have a weak spot for the vocal art known as 'A capella'

Basically the ultimate in unplugged performances an A capella group will perform entirely without instruments.

My favourite versions of these group fall under the umbrella "Collegiate a cappella (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collegiate_a_cappell a)" Such ensembles are student-run and directed and can be found at many colleges and universities in the United States, and increasingly worldwide.

Here's College A Capella group "On The Rocks" with a casual/live performance of Insomniac.

[WiiFii]

hell yeah thats cool, its very popular over in the states. Not sure about here in Oz yet tho.

If you like this stuff you should look up a group called "Straight No Chaser" they do some awesome songs

[chuckles]

far out, they just get up and do that anywhere anytime? that'd be so cool

[umpty]

yeah not bad at all. Good to see people doing something creative with their spare time rather than mugging old ladies !
