DESCRIPTION
Model Linzi Stoppard and Ben Lee are Fuse, a pair that use their electric violins to elevate the instrument further into popular appeal.  They cover well known classics from the former rock band glory days of the seventies and eighties that would surely go down a hit in Germany and Eastern Asia.  For the moment, they are in the UK and launched their self-titled debut album in May, 2010.  They explore the violin as a rock instrument and push it to its full advantage in their selection of material that includes Fleetwood Mac, Kiss, Led Zeppelin and even Michael Jackson.  Their arrangements are pop and classic rock in nature and shouldn't be approached by classical violin lovers - indeed, there's no classical violin to recognise.  If you enjoy Bond and Vanessa-Mae and wish to go one step further up the pop ladder, Fuse will lead you there.

Just thought I'd mention that the violins that they are using in the video are made with Swarovski crystals and are worth £1,000,000. I'd be too scared to touch them, personally!
