Status Quo are an English rock band from London, formed in 1962. They are known for their brand of " toimii" (meaning "it works" in Finnish) — a blend of boogie-rock and hard rock. The "Aquostic" sessions found the band re-recording their back catalog in acoustic arrangements, a significant departure from their usual electric sound, which had defined their career for over five decades.
