CocoRosie Arrested! Cancelled N.Am. Tour!

Posted over 2 years ago
wow! This is THE year for cancelling tours! Like a bad fashion statement, the sisters of CocoRosie have cancelled all N.American dates! They sent out a my$pace bulletin that says the band got arrested(!), and now their schedule has been altered to reflect the cancellations. Montreal on May 15th remains on the schedule as does a free show in NYC on May 19th. Europe is untouched. Their label, Touch & Go does not have the news on their site yet, nor does the band's official website, but pitchf*#k mentions the bulletin as well :
"dear loveswe are so sorry to announce that we cannot play the rest of the us tour datesthe band got arrested, thats all i can saywe love you allwe are playing a free show in New York on may 19thplease come if you canwe are cryingsay a prayer for our bandloveSierra and Biancalater..."
there has been much support from their "friends" in the comments section, but no revelation as to what they were doing that was worthy of jail...a very interesting thing that i noticed while over there - their #2 friend is Bunny Rabbit from Brooklyn. i can't remember how i stumbled across B. Rabbit previously, i believe i followed a clue from another mogger, but she plays some rocking girl-hop. While you are giving the Coco Rosie sisters some love, hop over to Bunny Rabbit and give her some ear..... if you are in the London, Brighton, or Zurich, you can even catch her live this month.

  6. zoot says yeah it kinda sux. i had a ticket to see Cocorosie down in philly. i drove to the show, and when i arrived, the words cancelled were spelled out across the marquee. i was also really pumped to see Busdriver who was set to open the gig. fortunatley, i went to visit a friend who lives nearby the theatre, and it turned out to be a really great night ... anyway, i can't make their free show on may 19, in ny, but hopefully i'll be able to catch them some other time. nice job of reporting , dj ivi.
