Cooperblack are a Darwin based band laying out tunes with a
post punk electro /folk feel..[ with a dash of the eighties]. Cooperblack
released an new 6 track CD "Soft Robot", in 2006 which recieved airplay on
TrIpleJ, Mix 100 and various community radio stations around Australia.
The band in finer detail..
Cooperblack is an odd mix. Always evolving musically, the
members of the band are really quite different people. Simon [The Hungarian]
is the mad Professor.... bending keys and theramin the way Hendrix would
have if he were born in land of no guitars. Oliver [The German] is the
funniest...and has seen more bands play that we have had hot dinners
combined..and brings those performances and memories to the band..often
shocking us in good faith. Jeremy [The Australian] studied classical music and
has vast music retail and back catalogue brain, often reciting catalogue
numbers of record releases like he has turrets.
The band and music in finer detail..
We like to have fun..and our music should be enjoyed..danced
to..and thought about.
We all love good music, from David Bowie, Nina Hagen, The
Doors, The Sex Pistols to....Bloc Party, Interpol, The Velvet Underground,
Pumpin trance and Electro stuff like Gerling, Dj Shadow..and the list
continues..there is so much good music to listen to...
Lyrically the words can be thoughtful and romantic....and can
be completely random, often putting things that have nothing to do with each
other together, to create hybrids words and feelings...
