Cobra Starship is the side project of Midtown’s singer Gabe Saporta. He, along with William Beckett (The Academy Is) , Travis McCoy (Gym Class Heroes) and Maja Ivarsson (The Sounds) have just recently completed shooting a music video for the upcoming film ‘ Snakes on a Plane’. The title of the band comes partially from Gabe Saporta’s experience with a snake while in the desert. The snake ended up biting him and ever since Gabe took that experience and used it to create his new project.The band signed to Decaydance in July 2006 and spent part of autumn on tour with Gym Class Heroes and Cage. The release of the film ‘Snakes On A Plane’ also comes at a surprising time as the movie’s theme and the band’s name and style helped to create a successful partnership for both the film and the band.

Their song, Snakes on a Plane (Bring It), will be featured on the upcoming Snakes On A Plane: The Album, to be released on August 15, 2006. Also, August 16 the Starship will make their live debut at the Key Club in Los Angeles followed by their live television debut on The Jimmy Kimmel Show. While the City Sleeps, We Rule the Streets hits stores in October, 2006.

Boy Kill Boy are an english rock band from Leytonstone, England. The band name came from the lead singer mishearing the name of a band called “Boy Called Roy”. In May 2005 they released their debut single “Suzie” and then went on to perform in the Reading and Leeds Festivals which are a pair of annual music festivals that take place in Reading and Leeds in England.

The band’s major break came in May 2005 when the band stepped in to replace Nine Black Alps on the NME New Music Tour 2005. They return this year as headliners for NME’s New Bands Tour 2006, supported by The Automatic, ¡Forward, Russia!, and The Long Blondes. They will also be performing in the USA alongside the Charlatans and have recently had their single “Suzie” used in the video game ‘Fifa Street 2″.

Gnarls Barkley is a brand new group formed between rapper/singer Cee-Lo and producer Danger Mouse. Danger Mouse (Real name Brian Burton) gained notoriety for creating the Grey Album, which was a mixed collaborative bootleg between rapper Jay-Z and the Beatles. The album ran into legal/copyright issues and was given a cease-and-desist order by the record label. The cult following of the album did help Danger Mouse receive new projects from other artists and he eventually helped produce The Gorillaz first album.Cee-Lo Green is a solo artist and former member of Atlanta’s Goodie Mob.

The pair had met in Atlanta in the late ’90s, and began recording together around the time of a 2003 DM record titled Ghetto Pop Life. They released their first album In May 2006 with Atlantic/Downtown Records. The album also made the brand new trend of being released online before in stores by being released on the I tunes Music Service. This trend with technology also gave them the award for being the first group on the UK charts to reach #1 status based on sales of the group’s single online. The group gave their first live concert at the Roxy Theater in Los Angeles in 2005. They later made their first official appearance together as a group at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on April 30, 2006. Their first album, St. Elsewhere, is in stores now.
