The Detroit Cobras and The Shangri-Lords

The Detroit Cobras, formed in 1995 by Rachel Nagy and Maribel Restrepo in Detroit, are renowned for their raw R&B and rock covers. Known for their albums "Mink Rat or Rabbit" and "Life, Love and Leaving," they became international garage rock icons. Despite frequent lineup changes, Nagy's dynamic vocals and Restrepo's guitar were the band's core. Collaborated with Greg Cartwright, their music was released on Rough Trade and Sympathy for the Record Industry. Continued live performances until Nagy's passing in 2022.
