Coco Gordon Moore

Encyclopedia : C : CO : COC : Coco Gordon Moore

Coco Hayley Gordon Moore (born July 1, 1994) is the daughter of Sonic Youth's husband-and-wife team of bassist/vocalist Kim Gordon and guitarist/vocalist Thurston Moore. Gordon became pregnant with Coco during the sessions for Sonic Youth's Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star album in 1993. Gordon's belly had barely started to show with Coco when the band filmed a promo video for the album's first single, "Bull In The Heather". A rare television appearance by the band on The Late Show With David Letterman to promote the album revealed Gordon to be late in the third trimester with Coco, who was born not long afterward.

Although Coco has just recently begun to display publicly any musical talents that may have been inherited from her parents, she did make her recorded debut long before she turned one year old — a sample of her crying can be heard on "E-Ticket Ride", an album track on punk legend Mike Watt's 1995 album Ball-Hog Or Tugboat?. She also appears on Sonic Youth's double album, screaming a cover of Yoko Ono's "Piece For Soprano".

In 2002, Coco made a cameo in Sonic Youth's promotional video for "The Empty Page", which was co-directed by her father. She also appears on the cover of Murray Street, the album featuring that song.

In 2006, Coco appeared with her parents on an episode of the TV series The Gilmore Girls, miming bass on "What A Waste", a track from Sonic Youth's 2006 album Rather Ripped. On June 8th 2006, Coco played drums with the all girl three piece band 'Lightbulb' at the Ecstatic Yod headquarters in Florence. MA.
