JOSIE COTTON

JOSIE COTTON hails from Dallas, Texas having moved to Hollywood to pursue a career in music. Best known for the worldwide explosion that was “Johnny, Are You Queer?” in the early ‘80s, it was also included in the seminal film Valley Girl which she appeared in with her band, the Party Crashers. Later it was featured in the notorious Jack Ass Number Two and on the John Waters curated compilation album A Date with John Waters.

Cotton has been called “the Andy Warhol of pop music“ by some.  She is known for her quirky stylizations and musical experimentations from pop to rockabilly, electronica, swamp, lounge, Western, garage rock and beyond.  Imagine Wanda Jackson meets Nancy Sinatra and has a baby with Nico (if you dare). John Waters wrote of her B-movie theme song record, Invasion of the B-Girls, “Josie Cotton has made the unlistenable unforgettable.”
