Copycat Killers

What do you get when you cross Pink with Hawkwind, Brit-pop mopers, post-punk junk, disco spunk, denim and leather, spandex and polyester, fringe and feathers? Good question. Cobra Verde's Copycat Killers might have the answer with its twelve tunes you'd never hear on a K-Tel comp, let alone during prom night. Their pot-induced rendition of Pink's "Get the Party Started" starts the party, and the shindig continues with a kraut-rockin' version of Donna Summer's "I Feel Love," and whomp-and-stomp nuggets by the Troggs, Flamin' Groovies and, uh, New Order. That's not all (it never is). These Cleveland rock legends Motownify Hawkwind, perform a Bo Diddley-ized upgrade on The Fall, and reimagine the Stones' "Play With Fire" as a stalker on an answering machine.
