coco rosie

There is a lot that can be said about this pair of sisters. Sierra Rose and Bianca Leilani have both led very interesting lives respectively. Bianca, otherwise known as "Red Bone Slim", spent her early years in Joseph City, Arizona with her father "burning ants and hunting rabbits from the burned out chassis of a station wagon." While little is known about Sierra's earlier years (although there are members of her family who say that she has learned how to "harness lightening so as to charge her body with electricity"), she is a strong soprano and was recognized as having a promising career in the opera in Paris. You will definitely hear the operatic influence in some of Coco Rosie's songs on their album "La Maison de Mon Reve". Apparently their first album was a hip hop project called "Word to the Crow" which was made only days before "La Maison.." and the hip hop element still comes through in some of their songs. They have a third album entitled "Noah's Ark" and are currently working on their fourth release. You can listen to a couple tracks by going here. Their albums are available through Touch and Go Records. You can also visit their website by clicking here. If you get a chance to see them live, do so. This is a unique act not to be missed.
