Philadelphia's chamber punk trio, Chasing Arethusa, perform 'Tragic Consumation' at the Cave of Kelpius. Johannes Kelpius was a musician, mystic and hermit who dwelt in this cave in the Wissahickon. He awaited the end of the world and the coming of a heavenly kingdom in the wilderness. In 1708 he left this world, but the cave remains. In May of 2009 Chasing Arethusa brought a little bit of the heavenly kingdom to his cave.
What a day!

Wow Chamber Punk music, that's a pretty awesome genre name. Now my video (episode 7 part 2) is finally not the only one about the Cave of Kelpius on YouTube! Too bad we didn't come across you guys while visiting, that would have made for quite some episode! Johannes Kelpius rocks!
