Julia Bergkamp, Kristin Gossner, and Xahra Gilbert are back and better than ever this weekend at the Cockpits’ second reunion show: American Muscle.
During their long and storied Taos career, they packed such venues as Sarah’s Garage; Destin’s Room; Brenty’s Garage; and The Kit Carson House. Gilbert moved to New York to pursue a life of fame and fortune, but whenever she’s back in town, you can rest assured that the Cockpits are too.
What is there to be said about a band that defies description?:
“Did you just win the Powerball? No, but it felt like you did…”
“You’ve never heard Bon Jovi quite like this.”
“Bring your jockstrap cause these girls are crazay!”
“The female Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch.”
“If God was a mixture of James Dean and Norma Jean, the ensuing rapture would sound like The Cockpits — a sonic apocalypse.”
“Three girls, one cup.”
“GOLD GOLD GOLD!”
