The Detroit Cobras’ first two LPs were lovingly reissued by Third Man last month. And we just learned that the group will perform at Third Man Cass Corridor on Wednesday, Oct. 12 to celebrate.
This whole thing is superb news for fans of Detroit music. We all know that the Cobras are one of the best bands to ever emerge from this region, and we all know that’s saying a lot. Their inventive, intense, and absolutely thrilling approach to material which (decades after its initial release) fell into the hands of schlockmeisters, hacks, super old people, and overly reverential young acts, remains revolutionary.
