The Cerberus Ensemble

About Me

The Cerberus Ensemble is, or should we say, was, the brain-child of Alex Taylor (violin) and Simon Quinn (everything else). However, with Alex Taylor making the long-awaited move to europe due to the hysterical demands of fans, record labels, and smooth industry types who spend all their time sitting in the shadows of trendy clubs, their red glowing eyes piercing the smoky depths in an effort to choose the most worthy musical genius to destroy, The Cerberus Ensemble will be no longer existing as a bona fide 'band' as such. Let's be clear about this; The Cerberus Ensemble no longer has any kind of existential status whatsoever. It is a cypher, a jabberwocky, just a name in peoples heads and a bunch of codes on the computer screen. However, since the reason Alex moved to england in the first place was because he felt that the european scene was more conducive to his peculier talents (hem hem), it is fairly reasonable to assume that he will be starting another band whilst he is over there. And this is in fact the case. The new band he is starting is called 'Alex Taylor and the Evil Eye' and will be a bitchin' kind of dark trip-hop type thing with a string quartet feel (violin, cello and upright bass with programmed beats and other lap-toppy stuff). You can have a little look at the Evil Eye myspace if you like, there is some older music loaded onto it, and if you wish to become a friend of Evil, Alex will be wildly advertising his new music as soon as it is ready (any day now!)
