Have you heard these guys? Once you click on the link the music will begin, no need to click on anything. They're teenagers who got most of their experience playing in the subway, but were trained in classical music.
I accidentally clicked on to whatever channel that absolutely HORRIFIC America's got talent show is on the other night and saw them for a second.... squinney and I agreed that they were the only thing worth looking at.
At first, I thought this thread might concern
11 dimensional String Theory.

@OmSigDAVID,
Yeah, you have apoint, but who cares if they're backed up by a ton of other instruments?

@Bi-Polar Bear,
I had no idea there was such a show. I saw the clip featured online. Horrific sums it up well.

@Cliff Hanger,
There's an Australian band, Fourplay, who are strings only, really, any percussion you hear is them banging on their instruments (and they're not aversed to using plectrums on their violins, violas and cellos to get a variety of sounds).
I remember seeing them at Tilley's with about 20 in the audience (really bad weather in the middle of a freezing winter) and they were fantastic. They did PWEI track and of course the Tartan shoulder's remix of Wonderstuff's Cut Up, they must have been going for over a decade.
They've posted this on their web site, a Rage Against The Machine cover:
