From Ticketek:

For over 30 years now, the Kronos Quartet have been synonymous with musical innovation. With their unique artistic vision and a fearless dedication to experimentation, Kronos have pushed the edge of chamber music repertoire, to the point where they have amassed a body of work unparallelled in range and scape of expression.

From the works of Alban Berg, Alfred Schnittke, Henryk Gorecki, Terry Riley, Steve Reich, and Charles Mingus, to pieces by Central American, African and Middle Eastern composers, Kronos have embraced and provided expression for a diversity of music.

kronos sounds like a good metal name.

hmmm, considering Kronos was the father of the gods (particularly Zeus) in Greek mythology, then yes most likely.

"He came from the skies and devoured them all
KRONOS!
The twitch at the back of your eye
KRONOS!
Hell-spawn saviour that will free us all
KRONOS!"

(obligatory self-titled song)

I've heard that they used to do Jimi Hendrix's Purple Haze - I wonder if they'll do Jimi's version of the Star Spangled Banner as an encore ... ?

Been doin' it in the UK.

Found more info @ CMNZ site - CHECK IT.
