In the movie "XXX - State of the Union", there are three or more women
playing electric violins and cello in the 10th scene (10th scene per
the DVD bookmarks -- the 10th selection in the scene seletions
entitled "The Guest of Honor").  Are they a band/group, and if so, who
are they?  Do they have other recorded music?  I could not find them
listed in the credits or on the soundtrack.

The name of the group is "Bond," and the song that was featured in
"XXX: State of the Union" is "Victory."

"Together Haylie Ecker (first violin), Eos Chater (second violin),
Tania Davis (viola), and Gay-Yee Westerhoff (cello) complete the bevy
of talented and beautiful women that make up bond. Over the past 4
years they have sold over 4 million records worldwide, making them one
of the best-selling string quartets of all time. The girls are
currently featured in the new movie, XXX: STATE OF THE UNION starring
Samuel L. Jackson, Ice Cube and Willem Dafoe."
