What is this band?

I was over a friends house watching MTV2 and this band came on that conisted of a male guitarist/vocalist, a female vocalist and a female cellist. The video was black and white of them in the recording studio recording the song. Being a cellist it is always interesting to see cellos used in "popular" music and I would like to check the band out more, if only I could find out who they are.

It was sorta soft/fok rockish except the the only percusion is when the guy would slap his guitar, if that helps any.

No

I was not in the best state of mind for short term memory recall. I knew I should have written the name of the band down, but I thought I would be able to remember it...

Here's MTV2's playlist for the week. I didn't see anything that resembled your description, sorry.

I'm pretty sure it was on one of their "new music" program blocks.

hmm i'd like to check this out too. i'm starting to get into cello music (apocalyptica

$100 bucks says it was Damien Rice. He's a singer/songwriter-type from Ireland who is finally breaking through over here.

I think his first single is the song "Volcano", which indeed features cello and collaborator Lisa Hannigan on vocals.

I cannot highly enough recommend his album "O", which was just released here in the US last month. If you like Volcano, chances are good you'll love the whole thing.

I think it's surprising (and fantastic) that they would play Damien on MTV2. More people need to hear his music!

Edit: You can download Volcano here.
