One of the earliest and most influential, bands to come out of the Detroit garage rock scene, the Detroit Cobras are an exceptional tribute to raw R&B and primitive rock and roll. Formed in 1995, the band was spawned by the same scene as the White Stripes and the Gories. However, what always separated them from the pack was a passion for obscure soul music of the 1960s, a passion that continues to this day. Although the band has gone through countless lineup changes it continues to thrive on Rachel Nagy’s raw yet soulful lead vocals and Maribel Restrepo’s lean guitar tones. Signing to Bloodshot last year, the Cobras released Tried And True, an album very much influenced by the wall of sound production of classic Phil Spector. The Detroit Cobras perform at Mohawk Place on Sunday (July 15) at 8pm
