Cobra Starship

Cobra Starship is an alternative rock band created by Midtown bassist/lead vocalist Gabe Saporta as a side project. They are perhaps best known for their song "Bring It (Snakes on a Plane)," which was included on the soundtrack of the action film Snakes on a Plane. The members of Cobra Starship, along with vocalist Saporta, include Victoria Asher (keytar), Ryland Blackinton (guitar), Alex Suarez (bass), and Nate Novarro (drums).

Gabe Saporta, along with William Beckett of The Academy Is..., Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes, Maja Ivarsson of The Sounds, Nick Wheeler of The All-American Rejects (although Wheeler didn't appear in the video but played guitar) and Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy (as a cameo) were featured in a music video for the film Snakes on a Plane. The song, "Bring It (Snakes on a Plane)," was featured on the Snakes on a Plane: The Album, released on August 15, 2006.

Cobra Starship toured with Cartel, Boys Like Girls, Panic At The Disco, Patent Pending, Permanent Me, and Quietdrive throughout the months of February and March. In the summer, the band toured with Fall Out Boy, +44, The Academy Is..., and Paul Wall on the 2007 Honda Civic Tour. They later toured with The Academy Is... in Singapore and Australia in August 2007 and played on the "Sleeping With Giants Tour" with The Academy Is..., Armor for Sleep, Sherwood, and The Rocket Summer for fall 2007. They also played the Carling tent at Reading Festival in August 2007.

Fall Out Boy vocalist and guitarist Patrick Stump makes a cameo appearance in the music video for "Send My Love to the Dance Floor, I'll See You in Hell (Hey Mr. DJ)". Stump also produced the newest Cobra Starship album, ¡Viva La Cobra!, which was released on October 23, 2007.[1]
