Jarvis Cocker, former frontman of the famous Brit pop band Pulp and Canadian pianist/rapper/producer/composer Chilly Gonzales have teamed up for this exciting new project - Room 29 is a studio recording of the theatre piece, consisting of catchy songs, spoken word and piano interludes, composed by Chilly Gonzales, with lyrics by Jarvis Cocker.
It was initially conceived as a theatre piece about the legendary Room 29 of Hollywood Hotel Chateau Marmont.
Cocker wrote the piece during his own stay at Room 29, inspired by one of the room’s more unusual features - a baby-grand piano - as a witness of all the countless dramas that must have taken place there.
