Other members consist of guitarist Ryland Blackinton, bassist Alex Suarez, Nate Novarro on drums and Victoria Asher on keytar, all of whom provide backing vocals. Hot Mess (2009-present) Following the success of Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl", Cobra Starship recorded their own cover version, "I Kissed a Boy," in summer 2008. The song was released on August 25, 2008 on Fall Out Boy's Citizens For Our Betterment mixtape Welcome To The New Administration. Cobra Starship is one of 9 artists who participated in thetruth.com’s Remix Project, where they remixed the Sunny Side song "Magical Amount". Cobra Starship also began the "Believers Never Die (Part Deux)" tour in the beginning of April, opening for Fall Out Boy, with other bands All Time Low, Metro Station and Hey Monday. They also performed a few shows in the UK at the end of May 2009, supported by Sing It Loud, Cash Cash and UK Band Mimi Soya. In 2009, the band went to a cabin in Pennsylvania, attempting to lay down some tracks. They broadcasted live throughout their stay on the live camera feed site Stickam, thus creating the Shelf Kids club. After their stay, a new album was announced for a tentative release in the summer. The band has worked with Kara DioGuardi, Kevin Rudolf, KarateE! Mouse, S*A*M, Sluggo and song-writers Benny Blanco and Patrick Stump.[3] Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester is featured on the song "Good Girls Go Bad", produced by Kevin Rudolf and co-written by Rudolf and Kara DioGuardi.[4] The song is the album's first confirmed single, added on iTunes on May 11th and available to listen to on the band's official MySpace. Other songs include "Pete Wentz Is The Only Reason We're Famous", which has been released on their YouTube channel[5] and MySpace page. On May 8th, the album title was confirmed as "Hot Mess", with a release date of August 11. The band will go on tour to promote the new album starting August 3. The tour, called [1] Hot Mess Across The US Tour, has 21 stops and features guests like Friday Night Boys and DJ Skeet Skeet. After Plasticines dropped off the tour, Cobra Starship listed a number of bands for the fans to vote for online in a blog, The Audition won. [6] On their official video podcast (CobraCam.tv), the band released humorous tentative titles for the album (which parodies several other notable albums) "Griller", "Tha Ryland III", and variations of their ¡Viva La Cobra! album. They made one stop on the Warped Tour this year, playing in Salt Lake City on August 8, 2009. In Fall 2009, they are signed on to Boys Like Girls' "Love Drunk Tour" along with The Maine (band) and A Rocket to the Moon. Product Description After selling over 200,000 records, garnering massive merchandise sales numbers and selling out venues as headliners across the country; Cobra Starship is back with their latest effort Hot Mess (Decaydance / Fueled By Ramen). The highly anticipated album comes two years after their critically acclaimed sophomore effort Viva La Cobra, which spawned the MTV favorite singles 'The City Is At War', 'Guilty Pleasure', and 'Kiss My Sass'. With their latest album, Cobra Starship is reaching for Pop stardom. The first single 'Good Girls Go Bad' (Featuring Leighton Meester of Gossip Girl; and written by Cobra Starship, Kara DioGuardi and Kevin Rudolph) is shaping up to propel the pop / rock / dance sensation to just that. 'Good Girls Go Bad' (which world premiered in May on Ryan Seacrest's nationally syndicated Top 40 show) has already been deemed 'The Jam of the Summer' by such mainstream tastemakers as Perez Hilton and Star Magazine. Cobra Starship is already in rotation at major Top 40 stations nationwide, with the phone request stories and singles sales to prove that the Starship has landed! Expect the band to grow exponentially in their cult fan following while crossing over into the mainstream with the August 11th release of Hot Mess. Cobra Starship revisit ‘Hot Mess’ 10 years later with a juicy track-by-track. It’s hard to believe it’s been 10 years since Hot Mess and a time when Cobra Starship frontman Gabe Saporta single-handedly helped American Apparel meet their annual purple hoodie quota. After nine years and four albums, Cobra called it quits in 2015 , but their mark on the neon-pop movement of the mid-2000s will live on forever. In celebration of their breakthrough album Hot Mess bringing the scene-friendly dance party for a decade, the former frontman sat down with AP to relive the era in his own words. From landing a Gossip Girl cameo to the tongue-in-cheek response to the influence of Fall Out Boy ’s Pete Wentz , head below for a full track-by-track on the third Cobra Starship record ahead of its anniversary this weekend.

It was inspired by that a little bit, and we had to give publishing to the guys who wrote “Toxic” for that song. It’s also about the only job I ever had, which was when I was 17. I worked for my next-door neighbor who was like an old rock ’n’ roller and hired me to do internet stuff for him because I was just a young kid who knew the internet. He just hired me to hang out, and he was just a crazy, obnoxious guy who totally would not be able to exist in today’s universe. But he literally said that to me. He told me that, “Yeah, just treat girls like shit, and they’ll stick to you—stick to the bottom of your shoe.” He literally said that, and I put that into a song, and it sings really nice in the song. 2. “Pete Wentz Is The Only Reason We’re Famous” That’s kind of like a “fuck you” to everyone that used to talk shit about us saying that, you know, so whatever. My favorite fuck-you-ish line is in there, which is like, “You can ride to the top, but you can’t ride on my cock.” There are a lot of zingers in this whole album. It has a lot of [those], which is why I think people connected to it. It had a lot of personality, and I really did not give a shit at that time. It was fun…I’ll probably give a shit more now ’cause I’m a dad and an adult, but it’s really fun to look back at that.

Leighton Meester) What happened was we had that song, [and] we had a bunch of other songs. That was, to me, the strongest song. We were working in a studio in New York, and they’re like, “Oh, we have to cancel your session tomorrow because one of the Gossip Girls is actually coming in.” I’m like, “What?” He was like, “Yeah, we got to move you guys around.” I’m like, “I’m all right. I’ll let you cancel my session if you get her to agree to feature on one of our songs.” I said it as a joke, and it ended up becoming a reality. The best song that I had was that, and I thought it would be perfect for that. So that’s how it happened. And by the way, I was a huge Gossip Girl fan before that. It was like a joke. Kids would bring me ripped DVDs of Gossip Girl on tour so I could watch it in the bus. I was [also] on it at the very end—the last episode of last season. It’s just like you have this outcast, troublemaker kid going for the good girl, you know? And that’s embodied with like, “Hey, we’re a Warped Tour band getting a chance to do a song with a Gossip Girl.” It was like, you know, the queen. It’s Blair Waldorf, and so yeah, I think that’s what resonated. It was charming, it was funny and it was a good song, you know? 4. “Fold Your Hands Child” That title was taken from a Belle And Sebastian [album], Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like A Peasant . I think these are the songs that kids connect to on the record. The fans really loved that song.

I didn’t do that many songs with Patrick on this album. That’s one that I did do. I hated the fucking bridge on this one. We had like a scream of rage on that. I just did not like that. That’s the one thing I would change on this record. 6. “Hot Mess” There’s two interesting things about “Hot Mess.” One is that we put out the album Hot Mess , and we had a song called “Hot Mess.” And then two other artists came out with “Hot Mess.” Ashley Tisdale put out a song called “Hot Mess,” and her album was called Guilty Pleasure . I remember that I publicly talked shit about her on an MTV interview, and it became beef between us. Then I saw her at a couple of awards shows, and she ran the other way. But then we made up at some point. Read more: “Snakes On A Plane” is a mid-2000s Cobra Starship nightmare come true. Then, the other thing is another band that put out a [song] called “Hot Mess” was fucking Chromeo . I’m actually boys with them, and they didn’t even know that we had put one out, and they put one out. Just another funny aside: When I started Cobra Starship, I got connected to Dave [Macklovitch] who had just started Chromeo, and we were both doing this out of the post-rock. He came more post out of more, you know, in the New York scene. It was like we are coming out of the Strokes being big and the rap stuff. And he did Chromeo, and I came out of the emo scene, and I was doing Cobra Starship, but we both wanted to do something that was more dancey and funky at a time when everything else was really purely rock. We actually got together [and] did a session because one of my first-ever artists sessions [was] where we got together, and he had a different approach of songwriting than I did, but we stayed friends through that. I actually talked to them yesterday. 7. “Living In The Sky With Diamonds” So this song and “Hot Mess” are both songs that I worked on with Bruno Mars and Phil [Lawrence], his partner, right before Bruno blew up. [For] “Living In The Sky With Diamonds,” we wrote with this kid named Oligee who’s a fucking dope-ass producer. [Former Cobra Starship guitarist] Ryland Blackinton works with him to this day. Oliver Goldstein has a group called Oliver, which is like a super-dope electronic and a nü- disco group. He produced that, and we wrote the top with Bruno and Phil. Then, I had “Hot Mess,” and I had this chorus and concept that I tried, like, 17 different verses, and I just couldn’t get it. I went back in with Kara [DioGuardi] to try and help with the verse. She helped me with the bridge, and then Bruno and Phil came in and helped me with those verses. There’s actually a version of Bruno singing the verses on “Hot Mess” that you can find floating around the internet. 8. “Wet Hot American Summer” The title was inspired by one of my favorite movies, which is the guys from [sketch comedy group] the State made this movie, Wet Hot American Summer . I was a huge State fan…That’s a feel-good summer song that just worked great live.

I think that’s the most revealing song, and that’s a song where, for me, the whole Cobra Starship thing— everything took a toll on me. Because obviously, you know, there was a lot of—it was very—I don’t want to say drama heavy, but it felt like I was always fighting. I was either fighting the haters or fighting to break into the mainstream. Or I was getting into physical fights at the time. Like shit was wild those days, and it was fun, and it was like we were under the spotlight—under the magnifying glass, but it was starting to take a toll on me. I think that song is the first hint that it was taking a toll on me. 10. “Move Like You Gonna Die” That’s a cool song. It’s not one of my favorites, but it has a shout-out to Angels & Kings club, which is the bar that we opened up with Crush [Management] and Fall Out Boy. There was a thing Pete really wanted to call it—Club AK-47—instead of Angels & Kings. He wanted to have a neon machine gun as a thing. And then Bob [McLynn, Crush co-founder] wanted to call it Angels & Kings. So Bob got his way. But I still refer to the song as AK-47.

B.o.B) That was a really cool song because that’s different than anything else on the record. It’s kind of a sleeper on the record. You got to go real deep to go into it. But that song has B.o.B on it. And there’s something about that song and production [that] reminds me of [ Kanye West ’s] 808s & Heartbreak . We were listening to that a bunch also, so I think that one is a really unique, different song that even people who don’t even know Cobra Starship like Cobra Starship. They hear that song, and they’re like, “Oh wow, that shit’s dope.” And that’s my run through of the album.
