They are called Bond. Just Bond. This crisp and to-the-point name fronts the volcanic talents of four ambitious young women who are taking the musical world by storm. They are stunningly beautiful and amazingly gifted.
Their musical backgrounds are classical, but they approach their music like true pop divas whose aim is to get everyone to stop what they are doing and listen.
The Bond girls have lots of attitude and credibility. Their aim is to rub out the line dividing classical music from pop. Music should not be held back by any artificial or manufactured labels.
On the surface, Bond are a music school-trained string quartet who play electronically enhanced and rocked-up versions of classical pieces. They dress to get noticed and play their instruments as if they were attached to their bodies. The four girls have discovered an empty niche in the overcrowded music market and have built up a legion of fans from lovers of both classical and pop music.
Bond began 20 years ago on different sides of the world. In Sydney, Australia, the parents of four-year-old Tania Davis were encouraging their daughter to practise her first notes on the piano and violin. Across the country in Perth, five-year-old Haylie Ecker was surprising her music teacher with her natural gift for playing the violin. In the Welsh city of Cardiff, young Eos Chater was loving every minute of her violin lessons, and in the English port of Hull, Gay-Yee Westerhoff was learning the piano, itching to tackle the cello once she was old enough.
