View The Article

Cobra Starship have postponed their UK tour that was coming up, and here’s their explanation:

"Hey Party Girls! (and guys),

I really hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it’s bad news with a happy ending.

As you’ve probably guessed from the subject line, we are going to have to postpone our fall UK tour. I understand this may disappoint many of you, but hopefully after reading our reasoning, you won’t hate us . . . that much.

The reason is because we have to record new songs!

As you guys know, we’ve been touring literally non-stop since "Viva" came out last fall. And as I’m sure you’ve probably heard by now, we will be doing a US headline tour with Forever the Sickest Kids beginning in October and ending right before the Holiday Season.

And if you know how we do, you know that we’ve been writing on the road non-stop. Cobras can’t stop won’t stop!

Well, our friends Sam & Sluggo (who produced our first record) have their studio open all of September. And we realized that if we don’t take advantage of this opening, we wont be able to record any new music until next year, which means that you guys would be without new Cobra jams until the middle of 2009! And we would never want to do that to you guys. because we know you’re gonna have a whole bunch of new parties to throw this year, and that you need those jams to make your parties bangin!

It’s just that we’ve been touring so much this year, that the year has flown by and we didn’t realize we didn’t leave ourselves any time to go into the studio.

So I hope you guys can forgive us and continue to support us. We promise we will not be sitting on our asses in September and that the UK dates have been rescheduled for shortly after the SassyBack tour!

Much love always,
Suavez and
Nasty and
La Hoya and
Pleasure and
Gabanti.
