Edifice Wrecks - Cobra Fantastic's First Full-length Album !
Your favorite band of interplanetary funkonauts are back from Planet 9, and they didn't come empty handed. Half comic book, half Space Opera, Cobra Fantastic's first full-length album Edifice Wrecks follows a warrior priestess, her rogue soldier and former lover, a 40-story monster robot, a dental-floss farmer, the galaxy's fastest starfighter, and a guitar with a mind of its own as they struggle to maintain the balance of the Funkabopulation in the universe. It's Heart of Darkness meets Mars Attacks, spoken in the language of jazz and funk, and carried along by the baddest grooves this side of Zargon VII. But Big Daddy Fantastic and his crew need your help! The Mothership is missing a crucial piece needed to finish their secret weapon : terrestrial monetary units! Help Cobra Fantastic! Trade your euros, dollars, or yen in for some intergalactic grooves and some physical objects that exist in your three-dimensional time-space: t-shirts, socks, posters, or even the archaic treasure known as the "compact disc" ! And there's more : When we said that the new album was "half comic book," we weren't kidding! We've created the Edifice Wrecks Companion Comic, where you can follow the story of the heroïne Ophelia Shazam as she fights for the balance of power against the evil villain Golden Boy! With each drawing connected to the tracks of the album on streaming via a QR code, it's the perfect gift for someone without a CD player... And for the lucky Earthlings who live within a reasonable geographical proximity to Paris, France, you can also grab tickets here for our album release concert at La Boule Noire on May 3rd! Yeah, baby! Basically, if you're looking to increase your interplanetary funksmanship with just a few clicks, you're in the right place ;-) But act now, before it's too late! The Funkabopulation of Planet Earth is in your hands!!! To give you a little taste of what's to come, have a listen to "Ophelia Shazam," the first single from the album. Animator Micah Buzan brough his unique vision and singular funkadelic touch to this music video! Meet your intergalactic funkonauts : Karlitos el fantástico (alias Karl Jannuska) : drums El nihilista fantástico (aka Benjamin Asnar) : bass Prezident Fantastic (alias David Prez) : tenor sax The Fantastic Quicksilverson (known among humans as Josiah Woodson) : trumpet & guitar Saralicious Fantastic (alias Sarah-Lane Roberts) : vocals Big Daddy Fantastic (aka David Garlitz) : vocals, guitar, songwriting & arranging, fearless leader...
But seriously, folks... No matter what galaxy you're from or what superhuman powers of funkitude you posess, putting out an album costs money. Your contributions will help to pay off the costs of the recording studio, the mixing and mastering, paying the musicians (oh yeah, they need to get paid, too!), and some of the costs of promoting the album to a wider audience. If we surpass our objective, we'll put the additional funds toward one of our biggest dreams : bringing the Paris band to the States to play some shows!
