NEW YORK, NY (Atlantic Records) - Decaydance/Fueled By Ramen recording group
Cobra Starship has unveiled details of an action-packed tour schedule, with dates extending into the New Year (see attached itinerary).
Having only just wrapped a month-long stint alongside 30 Seconds To Mars and Head Automatica on MTV2's "Welcome to the Universe" tour, the band returns to the road this week, teaming up with fellow Decaydance/Fueled By Ramen recording group Panic! At The Disco on their ongoing arena tour. Cobra Starship will join the acclaimed roadshow - also featuring Jack's Mannequin - beginning at Denver's Magness Arena on Tuesday, November 28th, and then continue on through San Diego's ipayOne Center on December 9th.
From there, Cobra Starship will play a pair of star-studded one-off dates, joining Fall Out Boy and New Found Glory for the 89X Christmas Show at Detroit's State Theatre on December 13th, followed the next night, December 14th, with a visit to Toronto's Mod Club Theatre, where they'll share a bill with Fueled By Ramen's own Cute Is What We Aim For.
The very next evening, December 15th, Cobra Starship hits the East Coast for a trio of "HanuCOBRA" shows, teaming with All Time Low, Moros Eros, and other special guest bands. The three consecutive dates include stops in Albany and Levittown, New York, as well as Asbury Park, New Jersey, where they'll celebrate the Festival of Lights at the legendary Stone Pony.
After a well-deserved holiday vacation, the band will hit the highway once more, this time accompanying Cartel on a nationwide tour. The itinerary - which also features Boys Like Girls, Permanent Me, and Quiet Drive - will commence on February 7th at Carrboro, North Carolina's Cat's Cradle, with dates running through the end of March.
Cobra Starship - led by former Midtown frontman Gabe Saporta - made a spectacular chart debut with their much-anticipated first album, "WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS, WE RULE THE STREETS," which entered in the No 1 spot on SoundScan's "Top New Artists" chart upon its release in October. The album - which includes the blockbuster single, "Bring It (Snakes On A Plane)" - also came in at No 1 on the "Alternative New Artist" chart, while reaching No 7 on the "Independent Artist" ranking and No 36 on the "Current Alternative" album chart.
In addition to its popular success, "WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS..." has earned critical praise. "It cannot be denied that Saporta can craft one hell of a hook," declared Alternative Press. "Every single one of (the album's) swaggering 11 tracks is immediately likeable." Newsday awarded the collection an "A-," noting that "strong hooks...let Cobra Starship surpass new-new-wave bands like The Bravery and The Rapture at warp speed." Moreover, Billboard named "WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS, WE RULE THE STREETS" as one of its "don't miss discs from hot independent acts for the holiday retail season."
Cobra Starship's new video, "The Church of Hot Addiction," recently made its MTV2 "Unleashed" premiere, receiving hourly airings, followed by the debut broadcast of a "Cobra Starship Makes A Video" special. "The Church of Hot Addiction" is the follow-up to Cobra Starship's breakthrough video for "Bring It (Snakes On A Plane)," which hit the No 1 spot on the airplay charts at both MTV2 and Fuse.
