Cobraconda interview

Everyone listens to music for different reasons, maybe it's to be inspired, to be moved. Maybe it's to get up and move your feet faster than The Flash. If you thought "Hey that The Flash answer sounds really good to me." then it sounds like Cobraconda is the band for you. Hailing from Boulder, Colorado, Cobraconda is a four piece, Spencer Foreman acting as the band captain, Graham nation close behind him as co-captain, Runny James representing as goalie and K-clay on power forward, and they're breaking out across the nation to tear up your stages and get you moving.

On your myspace you describe yourselves as "Smartly half-retarded super electro-charged sex rap." What do you think people hearing you for the first time would describe the band as?
Stupid and messy but undeniably fun. Like silly string.

How does your live show reflect you all as musicians?
We all learned how to play our instruments well enough to never want to touch them again. Oh, and we really like dancing. A lot.

You toured with 3OH!3 this past fall and you seemed to be quite a heavy hitter. Was it the reaction you were expecting?
It was a bit of a surprise, a nice one. We wrote all those songs the week before that tour (our first) and then just winged it. I kinda figured it would go over well though and I know 3oh!3 s fan base pretty good cause Sean is my little brother.

Where does your main influence for your music come from?
Not wanting to have real jobs. Seriously.

Since Cobraconda seems to be the kind of band to create whatever pleases them What is your view on bands who find a sound that pleases other people and just sticks with that?
When you chase music for money, God walks out of the room." -Quincy Jones. But seriously, jobs suck.

Right now there's only three songs on your myspace, when will we be hearing more from you all?
When you come record us. Most engineers don't like us in their studio because of all the lube that gets on everything. And being that we're the largest most dangerous snake of all time, there is a lot of money spent on our insatiable need for livestock. We're actually just really lazy. Like i said work sucks.

What is next for Cobraconda?
well its Wednesday? I guess the bar tonight and then fast forward to Thursday afternoon.

Now this is a new section we're trying out, basically ten random questions to end an interview with...

What is the worst injury you have had?
Listening to Sixx am.

What is your secret weapon to lure in the opposite sex?
A horse drawn coach, cucumber sandwiches and Ensure. WE like em reallllly old.

Yours, when you were at dinner.

Can you taste the difference between red grapes and green grapes? If so, what is your favorite? Which one makes wine, both?
Both of them, mixed with paint thinner in it. Its street name is Jizzurp.

If you could go back and time and bitchslap anyone, who would it be?
graham nation for also thinking this team was a good idea from the start. horrible decision.

If you had to kiss any animal in the world what would it be?
A party animal.

Our position of self-worth. And a roof.

What is your favorite tongue twister?
