Bianca Casady & The C.i.A. is heading out for a 22-date tour in Europe to perform new music staged in a theater-like setting together with a dancer Bino Sauitzvy, visual artist Jean Marc Ruellan. With her sister Sierra, Bianca Casady has created the great surreal Pop-Art-World called CocoRosie, and about the solo work, she says: " I often played the dark side of CocoRosie. And now I don't have to worry about being too dark, too scary, too weird."
