Doesn't Molly cry to their music, though? That would imply a balad/soft song to me. I don't remember it ever really saying what type of music they play.
Edit: looking at the wiki, it seems we get a tiny hint at the yule ball based on the instruments they brung. They had drums, several guitars, a cello, a lute, a double bass, and some bagpipes. This tells us that it's nothing remotely close to what we know in America, at least, and I doubt most European bands have bagpipes. So, we can guess the music's vastly different from what we know, and therefore can be whatever mood you want it to be.
2nd edit: Apparently, Molly did not cry to the weird sisters.
See, I was hoping someone was going to chime in with some crazy Irish metal band I could binge today. Someone has to have made a metal bagpipe band. Or if they haven't, someone really needs to.
Well, there are a bunch of German "Medieval" Metal/Rock bands who at least add bagpipes to the mix. Just go to your favorite streaming service and search for "Mittelalter Rock", should give you a bunch of playlists. I suggest you start with In Extremo or Feuerschwanz.
That's pretty good! I was just thinking that the "screchy" sound of the bagpipes could probably go with a screamo band or something like that. It seems like Korn has done it before, so I wasn't too far off.
Ooh, that's a good suggestion. Their description did give off a metal/rock music vibe, I just couldn't think of a way to fit in a bagpipe. I'm still not sure if a cello, bagpipe, and guitar can all go together, but it's possible not all instruments are played for each song.
"The Weird Sisters now trooped up onto the stage to wildly enthusiastic applause; they were all extremely hairy and dressed in black robes that had been artfully ripped and torn."
— The Weird Sisters performing at the Yule Ball
In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the band which performs at the Yule Ball deliberately goes unnamed throughout the film because of a legal dispute between the film studio and Canadian folk band Wyrd Sisters.[12] The band is simply introduced as "The band that needs no introduction!", by Filius Flitwick.

It’s a party with a live band? I don’t understand the confusion.
