I like Midtown, I like Midtown a lot, and when their former frontman, now Cobra Starship vocalist, Gabe Saporta, kindly gave me the opportunity to ask him all the Midtown questions I wanted, it was simply an offer I couldn’t refuse. So, while the Cobra clan were recently back in the UK to promote the smash Good Girls Go Bad, I was able to be fit into their crazily hectic schedule and got down to the crunch, in the hope of finally giving Midtown fans some answers, on the record, from the man himself.
We talked about Cobra’s newfound success and whether he is resentful about his old band not achieving that, his thoughts on today’s Midtown buzz, a reunion and his current relationship with the rest of the guys, as well as his morbidly surprising view regarding how long he thinks Cobra Starship will last, and even got additional comments from Cobra Starship bassist Alex Suarez. Not to mention, we even managed to cram in our mutual adoration for the infamous Millionaires, and talked about the recent flurry it caused when his involvement with them was revealed, as he explained why they are indeed punk rock.
Faye: How are you and the rest of Cobra Starship today?
Gabe: We are good, we just finished doing The 5:19 Show, we had a blast, it was so much fun.
Faye: You’re over in the UK to promote Good Girls Go Bad released here on October 19th, that single has pretty much blown you up, how do you feel about that?
Gabe: I’m very happy, it’s weird, nothing’s really changed, I mean, we’ve had some crazy things happen to us in the past month, like being nominated for a VMA, our record went platinum, so it’s pretty sweet, but, to me, it doesn’t really change anything much, we’re just really excited to keep doing what we’re doing.
Faye: One of my friends was in Ghana, Africa over the summer, and she said that Good Girls Go Bad was played on the radio over there.
Gabe: No way! In Ghana?! That’s so crazy! That’s what I’m saying, that’s a whole different level for us, so that just blows our mind, but we still try to stay grateful and humble about it, you know?

On the last date on their UK tour in London, Faye and Nellie had the chance to talk to Alejandro Francisco Suarez Virta Marquin Mercera, more commonly known as Alex Suarez, bassist of Cobra Starship. We got chatting about Cobra’s new album Hot Mess, mentalist fans getting a little too close for comfort, his undying love for t.A.T.u, and a ton more in what he deemed his longest interview ever.
Cobra Starship have rescheduled their UK tour for May, dates announced so far are:
