I was skimming through the dates posted on their facebook page and got their upcoming spring tour mixed up with their brief run in the north east in January.  Sure hope they can play in the area soon…

Woah Detroit Cobras came out of hibernation and out touring again, sadly nothing as close as Philly so far.

please keep us posted if you hear any thing as I'd love to see them again, caught them at Iota years ago.
They came to SF a bunch of times, but they would play the bottom of the hill and sell out and I kept missing them

Maybe a kickstarter campaign  ::)

Pretty sure they played some covers together at SXSW as well.

She also chose David Crosby as a sperm donor, so her track record's a little suspect.

This is true.

I prefer the warmer tones of a larch or a sweetgum.

the cobras are a dead band.. in fact they were never a band..they are two women and whoever they pick

they never got even close to the second album in terms of quality…i think its called life , love and leaving

they had a good following at their black cat shows but then they just stopped playing..

I went to the great went, where they had enough bathrooms for 25,000 people and there were 75,000 people there.  It was the most horrible experience.  I cannot even imagine what that place will look like after a day….gross.

More evidence for the need of a poop tent.

Jenn Pelly is a great interviewer but Courtney Love is a tedious interview.
