BC (Barling & Collins)

Stephen Barling (guitar) and Brandon Collins (cello) are two rather reckless bastards who make ornery noise for the sheer jollies of it. Both are long-time residents of Charlottesville, Va., a groovy place to (as Zappa would say, were he alive today) "raise your kids up in." Since 1997, they have built a proud name for themselves as a couple of bros eminently capable of conjuring obscene noises from a cello.

Barling and Collins have performed at Floyd Fest, Spaghettifest, Oak Grove Music Festival and Charlottesville's Fridays After Five as well as supported acts like Southern Culture on the Skids and the Asylum Street Spankers.
