Jessi D writesCHIRP Radio Welcomes CocoRosie to Metro on Friday, October 18th!

After deciding to forgo a traditional education at their mother's insistence, sisters Bianca "Coco" and Sierra "Rosie" Casady dropped out of high school and got their education in the form of doing art in the real world. They spent summers with their father on Native American reservations partaking in vision quests, and lived in New York, Hawaii, California, New Mexico, and Arizona. They formed Coco Rosie in 2003 after reuniting in Paris after a ten-year separation.

Now, after four albums, a stage production of Peter Pan, opera performances, visual art shows, and a couple of film scores, CocoRosie has released their fifth album, Tales of a GrassWidow, with firm creative control and a collaboration with composer Valgeir Sigurðsson (Björk). GrassWidow is bold, cohesive, and sentimental, with more traditional song and lyric composition, it's a bit of a step back from the freak-folk we've been so accustomed to from the sisters.

Make sure to check out opener LA-based rapper since the age of 9, Busdriver.
