This past Vans Warped Tour weekend was jam-packed with thrilling bands, rad skateboarders (including the Tony Hawk), and surprise guests. In fact, The Paradox, who just released their new single “Bender” featuring Travis Barker, invited up the blink-182 drummer to their set. And yes—it was simply iconic. The quartet, who jokingly call themselves “Black-182,” had Barker onstage to help them cover blink-182’s “The Rock Show,” and we all fell in love. Then, the group played their latest high-octane, party-inducing track “Bender.” Frankly, it’s impossible not to dance to this group, especially when watching their rager of a music video.

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!
