The wildly experimental indie-folktronica duo, CocoRosie played to an exuberant crowd at The Regency Ballroom on Sunday October 30th!

Sisters Bianca (Coco) and Sierra (Rosie) had to cancel their show at The Regency last minute earlier this year and the rescheduled show couldn't have happened at a more appropriate time of year because they're known for wearing costumes!

A few days before they returned to their native Bay Area, CocoRosie invited followers on social media to dress up as their own version Pipi Longstockings to the Halloween weekend shows in SF and LA. Along with being fun and festive, the invitation was backed with an enticing possibility of being in an up-coming, new music video, too!

There was a good turn out when doors opened at 8:00, with some fans showing their Pipi Longstockings spirit but there was more who were not. Seats up in the balcony filled up during the two openers as they set the circusy theme. A couple of show-goers entertained on lookers by doing acroyoga while there was still space on the floor!





The place was pretty packed when the house lights dimmed for CocoRosie around 9:00. In full-on ghetto fabulous Pippy Longstockings fashion, backed by a beatboxer and synthesizer player, the sister act's look was as unique as their sound. The stage remained rather dark but the diverse singing techniques of the Cassidy's popped from the splintered shadows.  
It was fun watching people get their freak on to old-timey, Avant Pop-rock and a fun show to see on the eve of All Hallows Eve!
