Thieves and the green fairy! Smoky torch singers and trapeze artists! Too much champagne, torn silk stockings and the never-ending lull of the backstage… As a band, The Romanovs (formerly known as Morgan And The Hidden Hands) indulge in the idea that performance is still magical, full of spectacle, lush, over the top and requires one to entertain an audience completely. Each player is a product of the classical world, all having been trained in their respective instruments from a very tender age (piano, cello, violin and opera). As such, the music they create reflects the large symphonic sounds and delicate melodies of classical music but also shows their appreciation for the rock music they all feed on.

Not a stranger to the gypsy lifestyle, each performer has traveled across the globe to perform with accomplished artists. As a group they have opened for bands such as Rasputina and Paris Loves L.A., and have toured with Veruca Salt. Wes has supported Justin Timberlake, played the Grammys, soloed with national orchestras and serenaded the dedication of the Heifitz studio. Morgan has sung on the trailers for “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire”, “Pride and Prejudice” and “Lady in the Water”, the 2007 Clay Aiken album, and has recently collaborated with the French electronic band M83 (album to be released in January 2008).

Well, no wonder I had such a hard time finding this band when I decided I would love to give them another listen. I only ever knew them as Morgan. Anyway, it's a shame I never decided to check them out more in-depth when I first found them. They're wonderful :)

Weird tags indeed, that's what happens when you do the "tags by most listened" thing to small artists.

If you would be so kind, add this and other good artists with less than 6,000 plays to the virally yours. If you wanna. Or don't and say you did.

I uploaded the cover art for And the Moon Was Hungry. Unfortunately, it's not great quality but it was the only image I could find.
