Rasputina, featuring Polly Panic, Melora Creager and Luis Mojica, will perform Saturday night at the Springfield Steampunk Festival. SPRINGFIELD — Pioneers in the use of cello as the sole instrument within a rock band, Rasputina performs at 8:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 23, as part of the third annual Springfield Steampunk Festival at Hartness House Inn in Springfield. Additional performers during the weekend include Ghost Signal, Karnevil, The Long Lost, a Bullwhip Stunt Show, Houdini's Escape Show, the Ten in One Sideshow and more. Visit www.springfieldvtsteampunkfest.com for tickets. Rasputina has been inspiring young string players to commit a number of musical sins since 1996. The group's concept was written as a manifesto, and manifested accordingly by directress Melora Creager as a wily subterfuge for a plot to open audiences to adventure. The funny, the sad, the heavy, the tender — it can all exist together. Employing elaborate costuming spanning a number of historical periods, Rasputina brings marginalized historical female figures and stories to light in the pop form, using archetypal characters such as Indian princesses, Hawaiian handmaidens and Medieval queens. Creager last performed in Europe with Nirvana on their final tour in 1994. Over the years, Rasputina has performed/recorded with Marilyn Manson, Porno For Pyros, Cheap Trick, Goo Goo Dolls and many others. Hardened road-dogs, and with more than seven albums under their belt, Rasputina continues to amaze and amuse.
