I sat in the Perth RAC Arena, entirely overwhelmed by the beauty, power, passion, and strength of the mesmerising sounds coming from the stage, where the famous 2 Cellos musical duo was performing in the manner of true rock stars.
Perth Arena was crowded, and everyone went just crazy when the most epic cover of AC/DC’s rock classic ‘Thunderstruck’ started; Luka and Stjepan banging their cellos, shredding their strings into pieces, and blowing the roof off!
Everything Started with just one Youtube video.
As their big fan, I was happy not only because of the privilege of listening to these two great blokes perform live in a city where only a few Balkan artists play, having been their fan for years but also because of the enormous success of two passionate musicians who owe their global success to YouTube and the guts to show up. They earned it, huh!
