Please can you make some beautiful babies.

...

SoKo.

Word on the street is that SoKo has stopped writing and performing. Her last appearance was a month ago in L.A., but, like the recent Patrick Swayze rumour pandemic about his death, the grapevine is insisting that SoKo the act is also dead and to top it all off, her myspace has been renamed SoKo is Dead with her "about" information saying simply "Goodbye". So, yes, it looks like the end. 
hmmm, I'm not convinced though. Stéphanie Sokolinski first came to prominence with her 2007 "I'll Kill Her" and floated around the scene, selling out shows without ever physically releasing a single single. 



But now she's stated that she's had enough of sitting in dark rooms and writing dark songs, she wants to travel and to be free. She's a funny French thing; when I saw her live, she stumbled for about 5 minutes with her ukulele repeating that she couldn't play it only to then go on to produce the most loveable lo-fi "garage band crap". I'm sure she'll be back, she won't be able to stay away.

here's her version of a The Teenagers song:
