From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cobra is an all-female rock band from Beijing, China. The band formed in 1989, becoming the first all-female rock band in mainland China. With only one album out, they disbanded in the late 1990s. Their style was a gloomy type of blues rock with a slight touch of New Wave dreamscape. It is said that one of the group's members was for a time the girlfriend of China's first rock star, Cui Jian. Cobra was very popular in the beginning of their career.
Group members include Yang Ying, Yu Jin, Wang Xiaofang, and Xiao Nan. They have played at CBGB in New York City.
