Azure Ray


The Southern dream pop duo of Azure Ray began their rise in 2001 when former Bright Eyes members Orenda Fink and Maria Taylor joined Crooked Fingers/Archers of Loaf's Eric Bachmann for something musically enchanting. A little more stripped than Bright Eyes and their other outfit, Little Red Rocket, Fink, and Taylor shaped a delicate soundscape for their 2001 critical self-titled debut. The next winter, Azure Ray issued the November EP on Saddle Creek, which featured collaborative work with Andy Lemaster (Now It's Overhead). Sophomore effort Burn and Shiver followed in spring 2002 and exuded a more serene soundscape and slick production work from Bachmann. Fink and Taylor also collaborated with Moby on the song "The Great Escape" for his 2002 release, 18. A year later, Funk and Taylor continued their steady pace of writing and recording. Their naturally warm tone was polished up for Hold On Love. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide.

Cobra Starship




Cobra Starship is an American band created by former Midtown bassist/lead vocalist Gabe Saporta. The members consist of lead vocalist Saporta, Victoria "Vicky-T" Asher on keytar, guitarist Ryland Blackinton, bassist Alex Suarez, and Nate Novarro on drums, all whom which provide backing vocals.

¡Viva La Cobra!

Cobra Starship released their second album, ¡Viva La Cobra!, on October 23, 2007. It was produced by Patrick Stump, who was also credited as helping with lyrics. The album has been toured heavily worldwide, most notably on Warped Tour 2008 and their current headlining SassyBack tour, which tours from October 7 through November 30 with guests Forever the Sickest Kids, Hit the Lights, and Sing it Loud.

Following the success of Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl", Cobra Starship recorded their own version/parody, "I Kissed a Boy," in summer 2008. The song was released in August on a free downloadable mix tape of Decaydance Records artists. The mix tape, under the collective "CitizensFOB" (For Our Betterment) and entitled "Welcome to the New Administration," was the endpoint of a viral marketing campaign both for Pete Wentz's vanity label and for Fall Out Boy's forthcoming album Folie a Deux.

Cobra Starship has been in and out of the studio working on a third album, which has a planned early 2009.
