If' there's one 'band' that I wish I'd made the effort to see live it's these guys....
If ever I found a harmonium, I like to think that this is the kind of music I'd like to play on it

Mere moments later, I found this had displaced Rebecca Black in my head.

My classical moment. Great band, LUV the title, neat little number. Enjoy :)
A pretty ditty from the Penguin Cafe Orchestra. Also found on the soundtrack to the wonderfully weird Napoleon Dynamite.

Finished studying, beautiful day ahead,.. feeling HAPPY! "The Penguin Cafe Orchestra (PCO) was a collective of performing musicians created by classically trained British guitarist, composer and arranger Simon Jeffes. Jeffes and cellist co-founder Helen Liebmann were core members throughout its life and a number of other musicians joined as the band grew and developed, many of whom appear on the PCO's six studio albums.
The PCO toured extensively during the 1980s and 1990s, and two albums, When in Rome... (1988) and Concert Program (1995) captured the sound of the live ensemble. The Penguin's sound is not easily categorized, but has elements of exuberant folk music and a minimalist aesthetic occasionally reminiscent of composers such as Philip Glass".
