The Leader Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 So I like to torture myself by mentioning bands here that no one will be interested in. here it goes. CocoRosie article: The only time I saw duo Coco Rosie was at Southpaw when they opened for TV on the Radio. They were practically booed off the stage. Near the end of their set one of the Casady sisters said "Do we have time for one more?" and the audience, in unison, shouted "No!!!" Well, there you have it. Coco Rosie certainly won't appeal to everyone, especially if you're not into operatic vibrato. But these Touch and Go siblings have their share of fans. Sounding like a cross between Billie Holiday, Bjork and Joanna Newsom, Coco Rosie's music is full of Parisian-inspired vocals, delicate acoustic guitars, and fractured beats. If you like songs with birds chirping in the background, these soulful ladies are for you. for a sample click me and click the link next to "good friday" Yes. I know you don't like it. I'm sorry that I wasted your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

test pattern Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 cocorosie is terrible. you'd think devendra's skill in writing would have rubbed off on her or some shit. san fran's trying to do some fucking folk revival shit. that's cool with me, but when you totally get pretentious with it and just try to be as gimmicky as you can (cocorosie) your music suffers. i feel one track, good friday, but the lyrics are so fucking stupid that if i pay attention to them i gotta turn it off.

test pattern Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 ironically enough, good friday is the track up there to sample. i didn't see that. must be their "catchy" song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deterrent Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Actually, I love them. "By your Side" best song. With lyrics like"I'll wear your black eyes", you have to like a bitch that knows whats up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Leader Posted March 22, 2005 Author Share Posted March 22, 2005 Just because they write music that is off the cuff doesn't mean they are pretentious. And I'm really not in the mood to go further on that, if you don't like someones music just say that, don't make a judgement on the persons character. On a side note after looking at the bands on Touch and Go I have noticed I like every band I have heard that is signed to that label. I'm definately going on a Touch and Go streak in soulseek.

Got it. I haven't heard anything like them.. what other bands are out there that sound like them if they are part of this "sf folk revival" ????
