COBRA STARSHIP VISITIS ATLANTIC RECORDS TO PREMIERE NEW ALBUM: 'HOT MESS'



How was MY day? A hot mess. A hot AWESOME mess.

Today, some of the members of Cobra Starship made an appearance in the offices for yet another awesome mixer event (see my previous 3OH!3 post for clarification. Basically, mixer = band + Atlantic employees + some free and abundant chow + overall awesomeness ). The event featured various perks, including such luxuries as free tacos. No no, not just one measly free taco per person. Free, unlimited, delicious, “it took 4 dining room-sized tables to hold all of these” kind of tacos. Oh yeah, and we got to personally listen to tracks off of the group’s newest album, ‘Hot Mess’, set to release in mid-August, so that was definitely a treat as well. But all that aside, free tacos people. Better yet, they even had vegetarian tacos. Made special request from Cobra’s front man Gabe Saporta (who, like myself, is a proud practicing member of the vegetarian persuasion). How great right? And they even-

Wait, why am I still talking about tacos?

Moving on. Did I even mention how we got to MEET Gabe? Yes, it’s true. After some persistent/borderline paparazzi-like tactics, the Publicity interns got to have a little chat and photo-op with the man who makes all of us go just a little bad. Don’t believe me? Check out the pics and video below for your proof. Sucka.



Taco Bell. Mmmmmm.
Some interns make copies. I bring tacos to Cobra Starship.

And last but not least, Gabe gives us a "shout-out" of sorts. Yeah, we're popular.



So to conclude, today was a hot, yet awesome mess of a day. Despite being one of the busiest days I’ve had since I can last remember, it ended on a high note that would give Mariah a run for her money. A mixer, free tacos, preview of Cobra Starship’s new album, ‘Hot Mess’ and a meet-and-greet with lead singer Gabe Saporta. What more could an intern ask for?
