Fall Out Boy has been rather busy creating magical evening after magical evening for fans attending the So Much For (2our) Dust tour. Last Friday, March 22, while performing at Madison Square Garden in New York City, the group invited not one but two very special guests to the stage: The Academy Is…’s William Beckett and Daisy Grenade. Following the debut of the Patrick Stump-composed song “Spidey And His Amazing Friends,” the group welcomed Pete Wentz‘s protégés, Daisy Grenade, to join them on stage for a rendition of “Just One Yesterday.” Dani Nigro and Keaton Whittaker‘s vocals intertwined seamlessly with… Read more »
We are still PRAYING for a full Cobra Starship reunion, especially after last night when the iconic duo joined Fall Out Boy onstage. After joining William Beckett and The Academy Is… co. on stage to bring it for the When We Were Young Fest crowd in October 2023 with back-to-back surprise performances of “Snakes On A Plane (Bring It),” Gabe Saporta has done it again. Except this time, he’s had a little help from his Cobra Starship partner in crime, Vicky T, on their 2009 track “Good Girls Go Bad.” Their latest reunion collaboration unfolded on stage at the Honda… Read more »
Cobra Starship is officially back and about to make their legendary return to Warped Tour—this time hitting the stage at Long Beach. On this episode of idobi Warped Radio, Gabe Saporta and Victoria Asher (aka Vicky-T) sit down with Peyton Grufik of idobi Radio to rewind the clock and relive the neon madness of their rise, one purple hoodie and keytar riff at a time.
From the moment online AI started claiming Cobra Starship’s name was inspired by Lilo & Stitch (Gabe confirms: he’s never seen it) to performing “One Night” at a party on 90210 (which Vicky had to remind Gabe of), the interview is packed with hilarious behind-the-scenes stories. The duo also dish on what it was like collaborating with Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester on “Good Girls Go Bad” and how Gabe ended up on the show himself in a brief cameo alongside Blake Lively. Plus, Vicky-T laughs about the label-directed remake of their “Guilty Pleasures” video, which the band took the opportunity to poke fun at.
Gabe and Vicky reflect on their first and only Warped Tour appearance in 2008, why they ended the band in 2015, and how it feels to be stepping back into the world of Cobra after nearly a decade away. Spoiler: It’s way more fun now. They talk candidly about growing pains, evolving lineups, and the way the music industry became less about community and more about competition.
Through it all, one thing is clear: Cobra Starship have brought the party back to life!
Ah, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. A hallowed American institution and a can’t-miss event for Garfield fans. As the New York City-based parade progresses through the streets, so too does it run across almost every television screen in the nation. While the floats and balloons ranging from the Pillsbury Doughboy, Kermit The Frog, and Snoopy have remained iconic for years upon years, we are still fixated on the unbelievable alternative celebrity guest cameos through the mid-2000s and early 2010s. After all, what’s a better precursor to bizarre, unsolicited political dinner conversation than a live performance from Plain White T’s? These… Read more »
