sooooo. this post is about one of my favorite bands of the moment, cobra starship. i saw them in spring of 2007 supporting a show for local hometown heros, cartel. before i saw them live i had only heard two songs by them, and i wasnt that interested. i didn't even bother to check out their myspace and learn more. so when they came out on the stage i was blown away. their music is that incredibly addictive, gets stuck in your head, fun to dance around to, pop rock that has elements of/ borders on electro. annnd if that is not enough they have this awesome female band member named vicky t. she plays the keytar and sings backup vocals and is the only female in a group with four guys. props to her!but anyway, the show they put on was killer. usually at shows where i am not familiar with the band that opens, i dont really get as into them as i would if i knew their songs. but cobra's stage presence was killer. they made a fan of me they night. i even got serenaded during one song where the lead singer gabe (born in Uruguay) came and pointed at me then held my hand and sang in both english and spanish.the indie snob inside myself hates me for loving a band that was MTV's artist of the week/ band to watch in 2008, but i dont care. even though they have recently become very popular, they are still playing shows at small venues, and keeping ticket prices low (i got tickets for an upcoming show for $12! whoo!) however, the shows are selling out quick, i got my tickets and two days later they had sold out! lucky me, i get to see them in february.but anyways, if you want some cutesy music to just dance around to (i like to listen to it in the car, and at the gym when im jogging on the treadmill) then try em out.here is the video for my favorite song off their newest release viva la cobra. its entitled guilty pleasure, and it perfectly describes my feelings for them :]its also TYPICAL cobra starship. its shows their goofy, fun loving side. i think the videos hilarious.
