My beloved Detroit Cobras take the Strokes' Last Nite, powder it with sweet melancholy, reduce the noise and boost the melody, and give us one of my favourite covers of all time. Enjoy :)

What a dirty rock pleasure it was to catch The Cobras last week at Maxwell's. Joey Mazzola, who played guitar on my upcoming Detroit LP, graced the stage with his wildly expansive chops and even sang some skillful back up. I had no idea he could sing too. In this vid I just found, he's playing bass. Where does it end?! Rachel Nagy sports rock pipes of gold and is powerful, unique, and sexed out to the nines; the kind of woman you look at and realize immediately, "She w... MORE

The Detroit Cobras (w/ Dan Sartain, The Willowz)(Slim's, San Francisco CA, 08/17/07)
Three weeks after the stupendous Grinderman show, I find myself again at Slim's to see The Detroit Cobras. Traffic is favorable this time around and I get in a bit before The Willowz kick off the evening. I find a spot to lean on the bar, sip a beer, and relax. I don't know much about this Anaheim band, but I can tell their set is weighted less towards their folky than their bluesy, psyched... MORE

I was reading Rawk's post about grief, frustration, and feeling that our efforts cannot dissuade others from catastrophe. I cannot tell you how much I relate. I work as a mental health case manager and experience this disappointment and sadness from time to time. Music does the power to heal though, and further more we can never really know what the outcome of violent actions or tragedy may be. The idea of "one and done" in life and death is very much perpetuated by the... MORE

In case there was any doubt how amusing I find sexual innuendo. (Or bad puns!)
I shouldn't miss this chance to point out that the Detroit Cobras are fucking great and any of their CD's are worth picking up. I'm predisposed to "Baby", but mostly because the included "Seven Easy Pieces EP" features Greg Cartwright, as near as it comes to a guarantee of my liking something.
So yeah, anyway, thinly veiled references to kinky sex...

I got my hands on the new Detroit Cobras album Tied & True. How is it? It sounds exactly like The Detroit Cobras. Putting all smarm and snark aside, the reason I say that is I have read much (mostly put forth by label Bloodshot) stating that it was this neo-Spector production unlike what they have done in the past. I was picturing a very Ramones a la _Turn of the Century_ album. The Detroit Cobras pop breakthrough? Please don't let it be! Be not afraid. I did hear a ti... MORE

"They perform standards from the vaults of Motown, Soul music & 50's rock & roll. In contrast to cover bands that attempt to re-create the original, the Cobras use material from the past and shape it into fresh, original garage rock versions. The resulting sound is rock & roll roots packed with modern garage rock energy". One of the bands I missed live 'cause I weren't aware of their existence at the time (sigh). And one of the bands I never thought I'd enjoy (= bigmouth... MORE

I'm thinking about getting tickets to see this band when they come to Dallas this August. Has anyone here seen them live, and if so how was it?
Here's a sample:

The CD Switch
(3)
Anna's post today gave me a brilliant idea. My father-in-law's coming back to town for a weekend or so. He's a notorious 50's and 60's music junkie, and I've already enabled him by showing him how to burn CD's on his new laptop. Here's the plan: I'm going to replace his CD's with the following CD's: The Detroit Cobras - Mink Rat Or RabbitThe Detroit Cobras - Life, Love And LeavingThe Detroit Cobras - BabyThe Raveonettes - Pretty In BlackBlack Rebel Motorcycle Club - Ho...

Crawling out from the weed-choked lots of the once proud town, The Detroit Cobras whip out ass-shaking anthems to good times, wild times, and the high and lows of L-U-V; you best believe it and you best not mess with it. Singer Rachel Nagy and guitarist Mary Ramirez are the bad girls by the exit doors at the school dance, all leather and heels, sneaking smokes and passing the flask. They have no time for dewy-eyed love songs or girl group decorum; they’ll take care of busi... MORE
