Cobra Starship

Presumably one of the hottest music acts of year 2006, Cobra Starship sure has great potentiality to keep generating buzz up to the end of the year if looking on the hectic schedule containing a number of gigs they are attached to carry out. Continuing their participation in Jerry's Kids Short Bus Tour '06 alongside Gym Class Heroes, Hangar 18, and Patent Pending, the band will next make a stop at Bamboozle Left in Pomona, California on October 14 before joining the likes of 30 Seconds to Mars also The Pink Spiders to highlight MTV2 $2Bill Welcome To The Universe. Venues include those in Detroit, Boston, Atlanta, Denver, Portland, and San Diego, the first being that in Minneapolis, Minnesota on October 17.

Took shape around year 2005, Cobra Starship is the alternative-rock side project of Gabe Saporta (born on October 11, 1979 in Montevido, Uruguay) who is known to be the vocalist plus bassist of New Jersey-based punk band Midtown. The idea to form this music act was hatched as a result of what Saporta called “spiritual quest” that he underwent following Midtown's decision to take hiatus after the release of their third full-length album, “Forget What You Know,” in late June 2004. Afterwards naming the project based on the words written on the backs of his two favorite vintage jackets, the guy delightfully did not have much difficulty to quickly compose his initial original work, “Bring It”, under this moniker.
