Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Period. Just ordered two tickets for their Birmingham show on Jan. 2nd. The wife and I went last year, and were blown away by the incredible musicianship and the sheer pro-Christmas-and-Christian bombast and spectacle, so it's now a holiday tradition at the Viking Lodge.

I remember "that crazy beer ad with the insanely decorated Christmas house whose lights were synced to TSO's "Wizards in Winter," but I didn't know who the band was. I might have to look into this...thanks for the tip.

Have you tried any of their other music?

I just picked up Night Castle and absolutely love it. The trumpet solo of The Minstrel Boy on Track 10 is hauntingly beautiful.
