CocoRosie

We’re pretty psyched because yesterday, July 6, The New York Times Magazine featured an exceptional, in-depth article about CocoRosie. It's an extensive piece that details the history of Bianca and Sierra Casady, including their enigmatic, eccentric musical and familial lineage. CLICK HERE to read.

Also, a quick reminder: the physical release of CocoRosie’s "God Has a Voice, She Speaks Through Me" limited-edition 7" picture disc is tomorrow, July 8. You can get your hands on a copy by ordering it directly from your favorite online retailer.

Most people would be content with promoting a new single and video, doing some tour dates, and making plans for a future full-length album. But, then again, most people aren’t like Sierra and Bianca Casady of CocoRosie. In the next two weeks, the sisters have separate non-CocoRosie related events that we thought were worth mentioning.

On Saturday, June 7 at 8 PM Sierra Casady and pianist/violinist/cellist Gael Rakotondrabe – in collaboration with French artist Loris Gréaud – will put on an exclusive musical interpretation of the French opera “Cellar Door” libretto. The performance will be held at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA), The Mall in London, UK. You can find out more information here - http://www.ica.org.uk .

Beginning the week after, Bianca Casady will have her art exhibition shown at the Wall House #2 in Groningen, Netherlands. The display will open with a special performance/BBQ/tea party on Thursday, June 12 from 8 – 11 PM. [Side note: unique art + earl grey + bratwurst w/ mustard, no ‘kraut = good times.] Following the opening event, the exhibition will run from June 14 until August 3, viewable on Saturdays and Sundays from 12 PM until 6 PM. Also, in conjunction with the art showing, Foundation Wall House #2 will be publishing Bianca’s book, Le Combat Spirituel. For additional information on the Wall House and its events, go to the the site - http://www.wallhouse.nl/ .

And finally, just a friendly reminder: CocoRosie’s digital single/video for "God Has a Voice, She Speaks Through Me" is available right now on - www.touchandgorecords.com .

On April 29, CocoRosie performed an amazing concert with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Because we know you love videos so much, we thought we’d let you know that the stunning performance can be viewed NOW at the following link:

Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam,

The new CocoRosie album, The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn, out 4/10/07, is a departure from the obscured blur of stained glass r�ve to a more self-exploitive memoir. Parts are dreamy and parts are savage, but, as with an opera where death represents a secret heaven, the whole record feels like a black diamond in the snow. "Promise" is just a hint of what is to come.
