After the devastating 1999 Kocaeli earthquake, Mor ve Ötesi started playing more on social and political themes. They were also very active in the opposition against the use of nuclear energy in Turkey. In 2001, they realised their third album, “Gül Kendine”. With Kerem ÖzyeÄŸen, there was a noticeable change in the music, and after 17 August there was a noticeable change in lyrics. In the summer of 2003, Mor ve Ötesi’s single, “Yaz” debuted, which was a cover of the famous song performed by the famous Turkish superstar Ajda Pekkan during the seventies. Their fourth album “Dünya Yalan Söylüyor” was released in 2004. The album became their most popular album in Turkey but was not admired by their old fans as much as their previous work. The album contained considerable political criticism against USA’s activities both in Iraq and the rest of the world. The very same year, they received a Golden Orange Award for their music for the movie, “Mustafa Hakkında Her Åžey”. Their fifth album “Büyük Düşler” (Big Dreams) was released on May 8, 2006. This is an album mainly dealing with the political problems of Turkey and the personal problems of the group members, including loss of family members and relationships. It has a darker tone compared to their previous albums. This album is regarded as a homage to their old fan base and a return to a style closer to their earlier albums.

Sierra and Bianca did not get along very well growing up. At age 14, Sierra was kicked out of her mother’s house, and sent to boarding school by her father. During this period in her life, Sierra lost contact with her sister. She changed schools practically every year. In 2000, at age 20, Sierra moved into a tiny apartment in the Montmartre district in Paris, France to pursue a career as an Opera singer, studying at the Paris Conservatory. During this period, Bianca studied linguistics and sociology, and pursued her passion of visual arts and writing. She also managed to collect a variety of tattoos, and was known to attend “Kill Whitie” parties in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. [edit] Birth of CocoRosie In 2003, Bianca was growing restless and decided it was time for a change. She left her apartment in Brooklyn, New York and decided to travel the world. Unexpectedly, Bianca showed up at Sierra’s apartment in Paris. It had been nearly a decade since the two last saw each other. Over the course of the two months, the sisters practically locked themselves in Sierra’s bathroom, chosen by the two as the most acoustic and isolated room in the apartment. After a month of experimenting in the bathtub and rarely leaving the apartment, they had completed their debut album La Maison de Mon Rêve. The album included sounds from many toys purchased in their neighborhood. “La Maison de Mon Rêve” was never originally intended to be distributed outside of a close circle of friends, however by 2004 the lo-fi album was released under independent label Touch and Go Records who had received a copy of the CD, and in a rare case pursued signing the unsolicited artists. Since the creation of their first album, the two have been practically inseparable. [edit] Currently Bianca (age 23), and Sierra (age 25) share an apartment in Brooklyn, New York. Sierra has since started a new band “Metallic Falcons” with friend Matteah Baim, which is currently signed under a new label started by Bianca with the help of business partner Melissa Shimkovitz called “Voodoo Eros Records”. CocoRosie expects to release a new album in Spring of 2007. They will do a small tour of Brazil and some of the United States and then begin to work on the new album. History [edit] Growing Up Sierra and Bianca Casady are American half-Cherokee sisters. Sierra (nicknamed “Rosie” by her mother) is the oldest of the two and born in Iowa. Bianca (nicknamed “Coco” by her mother) was born in Hawaii. Their mother, a teacher and artist, would compulsively move the girls across the country from one state to another. Their estranged father travelled around the US teaching in Steiner Waldorf schools, and was involved in Shamanism and Peyote Religion. Sierra and Bianca spent their summers hiking from reservation to reservation with their father. When Sierra was 5 years old and Bianca 3, their parents divorced. Sierra and Bianca did not get along very well growing up. At age 14, Sierra was kicked out of her mother’s house, and sent to boarding school by her father. During this period in her life, Sierra lost contact with her sister. She changed schools practically every year. In 2000, at age 20, Sierra moved into a tiny apartment in the Montmartre district in Paris, France to pursue a career as an Opera singer, studying at the Paris Conservatory. During this period, Bianca studied linguistics and sociology, and pursued her passion of visual arts and writing. She also managed to collect a variety of tattoos, and was known to attend “Kill Whitie” parties in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. [edit] Birth of CocoRosie In 2003, Bianca was growing restless and decided it was time for a change. She left her apartment in Brooklyn, New York and decided to travel the world. Unexpectedly, Bianca showed up at Sierra’s apartment in Paris. It had been nearly a decade since the two last saw each other. Over the course of the two months, the sisters practically locked themselves in Sierra’s bathroom, chosen by the two as the most acoustic and isolated room in the apartment. After a month of experimenting in the bathtub and rarely leaving the apartment, they had completed their debut album La Maison de Mon Rêve.

Their album Miranda was released in 1983. Björk next collaborated with Einar Örn Benediktsson and Einar Melax from Purrkur Pillnikk, and Guðlaugur Óttarsson, Sigtryggur Baldursson and Birgir Mogensen from Þeyr. After writing songs and rehearsing for two weeks, they (under the name KUKL which means “sorcery” in Icelandic) found they worked well together, and decided to continue, developing a sound that some have described as resembling Gothic rock. Björk began to show indications of what would become her trademark singing style, punctuated with howls and shrieks. KUKL toured Iceland with anarchist UK punk band Crass, and later visited the UK in a series of performances with Flux of Pink Indians. The band produced two albums as a result of these collaborations: The Eye in 1984, and Holidays in Europe in 1986, both on Crass Records. In the summer of 1986, several members of KUKL went on to form a band called Pukl but soon changed the name to The Sugarcubes.

Björk next collaborated with Einar Örn Benediktsson and Einar Melax from Purrkur Pillnikk, and Guðlaugur Óttarsson, Sigtryggur Baldursson and Birgir Mogensen from Þeyr. After writing songs and rehearsing for two weeks, they (under the name KUKL which means “sorcery” in Icelandic) found they worked well together, and decided to continue, developing a sound that some have described as resembling Gothic rock. Björk began to show indications of what would become her trademark singing style, punctuated with howls and shrieks. KUKL toured Iceland with anarchist UK punk band Crass, and later visited the UK in a series of performances with Flux of Pink Indians. The band produced two albums as a result of these collaborations: The Eye in 1984, and Holidays in Europe in 1986, both on Crass Records. In the summer of 1986, several members of KUKL went on to form a band called Pukl but soon changed the name to The Sugarcubes. tag:odeo.com,2006-08-17,1736213 Thu, 17 Aug 2006 00:41:06 -0700 no isbn9760806 http://odeo.com/episodes/1720590-Babazula-Bir-sana-bir-de-bana Intrepid buccaneers and experimentalists Baba Zula continue to explore uncharted waters with this, their third “Belly Double” album on Doublemoon.
