It took us three months to finish the arrangement of 'Thunderstruck.'

For us, it is all about breaking the boundaries between different genres of music and combining different styles of music and performing what we are passionate about. We are so lucky that we can experience both worlds: the more intimate classical world and the wild and crazy world of rock n' roll.

From Luka Sulic

Everybody recommends New Zealand. I really want to learn this haka, the traditional dance - I love it; it's so cool.

From Luka Sulic

Everything was so fresh and unique to us - it was a whole new world of music. Michael Jackson was so fresh, you know? We could approach it with such fresh ears, which wouldn't be possible if we had been listening to it when we were younger.

From Luka Sulic

Because in classical music cello is not regarded as a popular choice, it's always playing the long, boring notes.

From Luka Sulic

We want to connect all these musical worlds together. We just improvise; we know straight away if its going to work or not. They're not covers - I hate the word cover. We do a transcription: mix it up, put our own spin on it. I think people will be surprised how powerful our show is.

From Luka Sulic

Even in classical music, the cello doesn't get a lot of respect because the piano and the violin get it all.

From Luka Sulic

I started playing when I was 5. I'm from a family of musicians.

From Luka Sulic

The cello is such a versatile instrument. It can rock like the hardest rock guitar, and it can sing like the human voice. We couldn't do what we do without the classical training. It's a hard instrument to play. There are no frets, and it takes finesse and technique to play.

From Luka Sulic

We tune differently, and we use some tricks. There's just the two of us for much of a concert, so we want a big sound. We do use some guitar effects, distortion and delay. Playing cello with distortion sounds so good.
