Trust me on this, when it comes to the stories of how bands formed, there are stories and then there are *STORIES*. CocoRosie are very much in the latter camp. The parents of Coco and Rosie separated when they were three and five, respectively.
Ever since then they’ve led lives that were… interesting to say the very least. Their artist and singer mother took them out of high school early as she thought that they would learn more doing art in the “real world”. Their father wasn’t much better; since he became fascinated with Native American religions, and spent whole summers going on vision quests accompanied by his daughters.
Needless to say, they weren’t impressed at the time. Sierra moved to New York in 1998, aged 18, before relocating to Paris to study for a career as an opera singer. The sisters lost touch with each other for three years as Bianca stayed in New York. Once they met back up, everything changed.
The sisters spent the summer of 2003 recording music in Sierra’s bathroom, the most acoustic and isolated room in the apartment. Both sang, Sierra played the acoustic guitar and whatever improvised instruments they could find. These songs turned into their debut album, “La Maison De Mon Rêve”, which was originally meant to be distributed amongst their friends but instead, got them signed to Touch and Go Records.
Since then, they’ve released a handful of albums and worked with such luminaries as Anthony Hegarty, Devendra Banhart and Bjork producer Valgeir Sigurðsson. There’s never been anyone like them at this level, and there won’t be another for a very long time. Get involved now or miss out on something very special indeed.
Any frequent concert goer has gone to a show that felt like the band played especially for them, and when it's one of your favorite bands, even better. I never knew that I could feel so connected to a band until I saw these sisters play live. In case you don't know a anything about a live Cocorosie experience, you are always guaranteed that the songs that they play will not sound like the songs on the album, they have a knack for remixing their songs on stage and in a way that not only does it sound like they are free-styling (feeding off of each-others energy all of he way through), but also in a way that it will never be played again. That being said when they came to Variety Playhouse in October 2014, it was my first time seeing them. I had been listening to them for years and even had the chance to see them but passed it up for some other band. Their opener was an almost completely naked women painted red from head to toe. Then they came out, in all of their glory, and I could rant about every detail, but instead I'll give you the highlights. They had a clothes line full of different clothes and underwear, that every member of the band changed in and out of until it was empty. There were crows all over the stage, not live ones, but they did squawk on occasion. Cameras on their microphones overlaid distorted images of them over some of their music videos. A couple jumping on stage with them, serenaded by Bianca. And one of my favourite parts, Sierra closing out the show by inviting people on stage to vogue with her to a beautifully thrown together scat by Tez and Bianca, proclaiming 'vagina power'. This is all withstanding the music, like Tez's beat boxing solo, the newer band member picking up about 5 different instruments from brass to synthesiser and playing them all with a stoic grace, hearing Sierras operatics live while she played the harp, and them coming back out for an encore of their newest single We Are on Fire and The classic Werewolf, that gives me chills just thinking about how they sang it. The show had more than I could ask for, I mean seeing Sierra vogueing in 4inch heels would be something I would pay to see alone beyond the fact that they surprisingly played everything I wanted to hear better than I had heard it before. A freaky folky and unique experience.
