Soooo.. it’s time to “murder your thirst” with a new Liquid Death flavor, and it’ll likely remind you of your childhood Saturday mornings, sitting in front of the TV watching Cartoon Network. The brand, known for their canned water and iced teas, as well as their iconic marketing stunts (looking at you Ozzy Osbourne DNA sale), teamed up with Fruity Pebbles to craft “Cereal Criminal.” Yes, your assumption is correct… there is now a Liquid Death Sparkling Water that’s flavored like Fruity Pebbles and cereal milk. This limited-edition offering has been receiving mixed reviews from TikTok food creators. Some simply… 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!
