Another month, another big indie score for BSP Lounge. This time it’s in the form of CoCoRosie, who will make their first area appearance in the venue’s seldom-utilized Back Room Theater this Saturday.
Formed in Paris in 2003 by singing sisters Bianca (“CoCo”; percussion) and Sierra (“Rosie”; guitar, harp) Casady, the highly visual group rose to prominence alongside Devendra Banhart and other purveyors of the so-called freak folk/new weird Americana wave of the early 2000s. In addition to folk and psychedelia, CoCoRosie’s music takes in pop, electronica, hip-hop, opera, and ethnic music elements. Their sixth album, Heartache City, was released on City Slang Records this month.
Here’s CoCoRosie performing in Barcelona last July:
CocoRosie will perform at BSP Lounge’s Back Room Theater in Kingston, New York, on September 26 at 8pm. Mary Ocher will open. Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 day of show. For more information, call (845) 481-5158 or visit http://bspkingston.com/.
