Cobra Gayship and The Academy is…

Talk about a total contrast, last night I went to see The Academy is… and a band by the name of Cobra Starship who you might know had the title song from hit movie Snakes on a Plane. I am just going to say right now that I have never seen a band suck so much and try so hard to win some fans. I have been to a few shit shows in my time (Blink 182 anyone?) but Cobra Gayship were just plan crap. How could the man behind one of my favorite bands (Midtown) produce such shit music? I think the below quote from how the band Cobra Starship started will say it all “Saporta sought out to discover his true purpose and meaning in the desert of Arizona. On one distinct night, a snake – more befittingly, a cobra – bit his neck, and upon waking up, told him of the eventual demise of the world and mankind. The mystifying cobra foretold the eventual frontman of his mission and point of existence – leading the human race into the end with style.” All I can say is do not listen to this band they suck and Gabe you suck.

The Academy Is… totally rocked they were well above what I was expecting. The sound quality was great they had a wonderful stage presence and if it was not for Cobra Gayship I would say they would have made the top 3 shows of the year. Unfortunately I have had to mark the show down because they wanted to bring Cobra Gayship along for the ride and they just suck. Overall I give this show 5/10. 5/5 for The Academy Is… and 0/5 for Cobra Gayship. For anyone who does not know The Academy is… check out the below clip.

Dragonforce’s “Through the Fire and the Flames” for Guitar Hero III. I don’t know about you but that looks pretty tricky…
