Alternative
Debido a la noticia que he leido en LesInrocks, voy a hacer una introducción de CocoRosie, para aquella gente que aún no las conozca, y después pasaremos a hablar sobre la noticia en cuestión.
CocoRosie es un duo formando por Bianca y Sierra Casady, que sorprendieron con su debut La maison de mon réve, en el cual dos voces femeninas cantaban sobre sus temas con una música fuera de lo habitual, ruiditos, el sonido de la lluvia parisina... Aqui fueron muy bien acogidas, y en el referendum de Disco Grande,Radio3, su album fue votado como el mejor del 2004. Y una de las canciones de este album fue versionada para el anuncio de bebida de cítricos Loops, la canción original era de ellas, y se llamaba By your side. La letra no tiene desperdicio.
El pasado año salió su segundo y esperado trabajo Noah's Ark, y vinieron a presentarlo por España, y en algunos referendums de lo mejor del año, su soprendente actuación (que aún no he tenido el gusto de ver) fue considerada una de las mejores.
Para acabar antes de poneros todo lo que ellas cuentan en su space, diré que vuelven a España en Julio.

About them (from theirspace ):
Sierra Rose and Bianca Leilani (a.k.a. Red Bone Slim) were born in Fort Dodge, Iowa and the big island of Hawaii respectively. They are the third and fourth daughters of spiritualist Timothy Casady and artist/teacher Tina Hunter.
“As a small child,” Red writes, “I was carried in a papoose around sacred Anasazi grounds by my mother and her partner, Brook Medicine Eagle. Periods of my adolescence were spent living in a trailer on the outskirts of Joseph City, Arizona with my father. We spent our time burning ants and hunting rabbits from the burned out chassis of a station wagon. I left at fifteen owing to a feeling of alienation caused in part by my reticence toward a formal education. As soon as I was able to garner the necessary means – I sold both day-old flowers in restaurants and expired raffle tickets to the elderly – I boarded a bus north to San Francisco. I toted around soft paper copies of Genet and Conrad’s Heart of Darkness that I scarcely read.”
Less is said about the formative years of Sierra Rose. What is known is that she spent much time studying Rumi, Halal Nashids and Eurythmy. She also exhibited an innate talent for trigonometry. Speculations abound. Members of her family attest to the fact that she learned how to harness lightening so as to charge her body with electricity. By her twenty-third birthday Ms. Rose had received many accolades in Paris as a refined Soprano with a promising career ahead in the opera.
Red Bone and Ms. Rose reunited in 2003 to become Coco Rosie. Their first album, a hip hop project called Word to the Crow, was made only days before their second album, La Maison de Mon Reve. They were signed to Touch and Go Records shortly after their inaugural public performance. In 2005 their third full-length album, Noah’s Ark, was released and they are currently working on their fourth.
The some time sisters are both aspects of a north Brooklyn clan, Voodoo-Eros, which has recently surfaced to release The Enlightened Family and Diane Cluck’s Countless Times. Sierra is one half of the white-bearded metal lullaby band Metallic Falcons with Matteah Baim.
Dreams for the future include:
- Making an album with RZA
- Write and produce an opera
- Disappear as vagaries in North Africa
- Retire as lesbian welders in New Mexico
- A marriage with Antony!
Oh, good lord, yield such tender mercies!
