A question for those of you have seen them live:
Are they worth £15? I am fairly skint right now and I really can't justify paying that much for a shit gig.
And on a wider level: They're pretty alright, yeah? I just bought their new album today, but haven't got around to listening to it. How would you rate it?
Thanks x

Have you seen them before?
I have a feeling they'd be really interesting to watch live.

I'd go to see them. But that means maybe going to London for me, and only twats live in London. Twats and Hobos.

I heard some stuff ages ago and thought they were a band to investigate.
But then I heard Beautiful Boyz... *shudders* I'm not being at all hyperbolic when I say it made my skin crawl, and I'm very fond of Antony usually. Musically, lyrically and conceptually it was probably the most forced, unnatural and contrived song I've ever heard.
So yeah, thats the word that comes to mind when I think of Cocorosie; contrived. Forced weirdness and eccentricity to the max.

Forced weirdness and eccentricity to the max. We are complete opposites on this. Not only is Beautiful Boyz my favourite Cocorosie track, I hate Antony anywhere outside of the tune. I agree they can be a little bit contrived/a chore in places, but they have some great songs. I think the price is to do with the band actually! I rarely buy a ticket over a tenner, and gigs in The Arches are not usually this pricey! I think some people are a bit dear with their booking prices...

Aye, I was thinking of going to this too. It's a coin-toss between a CocoRosie ticket or a Björk t-shirt.

I wanted to go see them....I think tickets were going to be like $20....yeah it's tough. I'd probably pay it if I was sure I was going to go. Uhm, that sounds strange...I mean that they are not a band I really would plan to go see, but just kind of to see if I wasn't busy, etc..so I wouldn't want to pay a lot.
I like them very much though. The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn has not left my stereo since I bought it. When I bought it the girl who was at the cash was like "oh my roommate really likes them...I've never actually seen anyone buy their album though!" lolol.
And Beautiful Boyz is still one of my favourite of their songs, and I like Antony when he guests.
