Their website CobraCam.TV starts out currently with some "found" footage from Nate's birthday, and continues through nine more episodes of backstage frivolousness, ads for the latest and greatest products the band is spruiking, various mockumentaries, and gratuitous shots of Victoria. Good stuff.

But what would you expect from a band who formed when their head honcho Gabe Saporta was bitten by a cobra while meditating in the desert, and subsequently told by said cobra to teach hipsters not to take themselves so seriously and tell emo kids to stop being pussies. All this to ensure the cobra's life purpose of ensuring that mankind went out in style. I like him already.

Twisted tracks, and even more twisted covers (try Hollaback Boy on for size) ensued. The first release Snakes On A Plane (Bring It) (for the Samuel L Jackson film of the same name) featured a cameo by same day Fuji Rock stage buddy Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz, and went stratospheric. Two albums quickly followed, and the single Guilty Pleasure spawned its own dance. More recently Good Girls Go Bad and Pete Wentz Is The Only Reason We're Famous have been released off the forthcoming Hot Mess, due for release a scant couple of weeks after the party finishes at Fuji Rock, indicating some of the great synth pop that is maybe what they're not famous for... With the Fall Out Boy connection extending to Patrick Stump as well as Pete Wentz, I wouldn't expect these guys spend the whole of their set unaccompanied!

Interview with Ryland Blackington and Alex Suarez

Dom.

This is a taste of their live show, as at Bamboozle last month. If you're afraid of a little obscenity, don't push the button.

Get ready to enjoy your guilty pleasure and learn the moves before you find yourself left behind in the crowd.
