Sounds Like: Like a bird balanced on the edge of a razor blade, singing in the rain, Cockatoo dances on the precipices of the ethereal and the raw, the passionate and the delicate. Reminiscent of earlier 4AD bands, Cockatoo is a trio consisting of songwriter Robyn Bright on vocals and guitars, Leonardo Gonzalez currently on drums, and bassist Rod Wolfe (of SOFT and various projects including early stints with Dwayne Goettal of skinny puppy and Dave Bacon formerly of SNFU). With a genuine love and passion for music the members of Cockatoo write and perform their music solely for the love of playing, and this jubilant band chemistry is readily apparent in their live performances.Cockatoo are noticing and appreciating the growing support of the music underground, where Cockatoo 's 'Otto's song', 'Unrequited' and 'White Picket Fence' are enjoying a varied and diverse rotation in ecclectic locations such as Italy, Paris, England, Ireland, Prague, Hungary, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Chile, Argentina, North America and Japan. Surprisingly their demographic has also been eclectic: they have received joyous post- show grins from punks to rockabilly's, death rockers, goths and young indie hipsters to older and more experienced listeners.Cockatoo-The Basement Tapes e.p.

end, the result is an admirable product considering the limited funds the band had available at the time of recording (spring of 2006).
The band are looking forward to cutting their teeth on a full length CD as soon as possible.
