Samsung Interview at Galaxy S III Launch (June 20)
Interview: Mac Miller and middle fingers
Good thing the guys weren’t at the bar the same night as Chris Brown and Drake—who knows what kind of shenanigans would of went down. While looking for someone up and coming to feature on their track “Middle Finger,” who better to ask than Mac Miller. Alex also proves he’s a total badass by throwing a drink at someone’s face in Vegas. I’m just glad it wasn’t me!
Cobra Starship Interview: Mario Lopez and his bag of snakes
Would you ever consider putting Mario Lopez and a bunch of snakes in the same sentence? Cobra Starship would. Gabe and Alex chat with @Jordans_life about their new single “#1Nite” and what better idea was it to actually add in the hashtag, for Twitter — duh! Gabe mentions that the music video has a road trip vibe with My Name Is Kay (who features on the track) that was influenced by one of his favourite 90s movies, “True Romance.”

Cobra Starship – We’ve talked to Gabe, their lead singer, about the concerts in Pop Music Festival
Nice, funny and considerate: these are the three adjectives that describe so well the lead singer of Cobra Starship, Gabe. At least, that was the impression I had while interviewing him by phone. He talked about the concerts in São Paulo (June 23) and in Rio (June 27), beyond his love for Brazil. After the conversation, I’m a bigger fan of the band now. Check out the interview and tell me: isn’t he lovely or not?
TT: Let’s talk a little about the expectations of playing here in Brazil again.
GS: Every time I play in Brazil, it’s so good that goes far beyond the expectations, so, I try not to have them anymore. I’m so excited to play here again, I love this country, the last time we came was for a small concert and we had a big crowd, always dedicated, so, it always goes beyond expectations.
TT: Are you going to have free time to visit some places here?
GS: Yes! I’m so excited for that. We’re going to have six or seven free days, it’s enough time to walk around. I wanna go to the beach.
TT: What’s your best memory from the last time you came?
GS: I remember that we opened Justin Bieber’s concert and there was a party in Rio, a very good one. We had lots of fun!
TT: Do you speak something in portuguese?
GS: I know how to say “obrigado (thanks)”, “você quer (from the song “Você quer?” by Mulher Melão – it means “Do you wanna?”)”, I don’t know how to say “sorry” in Portuguese…
TT: It’s “Desculpe”
GS: Desculpe? Oh yeah, so I know some things because my Spanish is good, so, it makes some sense to me.
TT: Do you know that you have lots of fans here? The song “You Make Me Feel…” has been a hit for a long time…
GS: Wow, that’s something amazing to hear! So nice, it isn’t always that we have the chance to know this kind of information. Brazil is really special to us. When we play here, the fans’ reaction is amazing; it’s very exciting to us.
TT: You’re going to play in a festival with Kelly Clarkson, J. Lo and Michel Teló. The crowd will be very miscellaneous. What do you think about it?
GS: We were talking about it the other day, when I was asked the same thing. I believe that it’s super important for the band. We never wanted to be a labeled band that fits in one style, you know? We wanted to be able to play in festivals like that, with a mixed audience, and at the same time, to incorporate different sounds to ours. Because it gives us the ability to play to everyone around the world. We did a concert in Guatemala and it worked a lot, and so we can do it also in Vegas, more an electronic thing. It’s important to us as a band.
TT: Your vídeos are always really fun. How far goes your participation while thinking about the videos?
GS: It’s something big, we interact a lot! In our most recent video, “#1Nite”, I wanted it to be about those unforgettable nights. Well, the song is called “#1Nite”, so I had the idea of making a really joyful one, funny, that was in a party, a club…I had myself inspired by the movie “True Romance”, with Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette, by its style, clothes…Our video has a big influence by this movie.

Gabe talks Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp (“Dark Shadow”) was one of the winners at the CFDA Awards (June 4). Entertainment Weekly asked the Celebs on the red carpet what they think about Depp. Check out what Gabe had to say.
“He used to play in bands so he’s kind of like a rock and roll dude. He’s like ‘F— it, I guess I got to dress up a little bit.’ So he, like, does it, he wears nice things but it’s very effortless.”
