++Triple Cobra play summer jams for the end of the world. Through a baroque haze of billowing synthesizers, pounding tribal beats, five-part harmonies, and soaring guitars, the Brooklyn-based septet delivers wildly infectious psychedelic pop anthems with an almost operatic grandeur; all beneath a dazzling veil of bright lights, whirling snow and a storm of confetti. Their album “The Last Summer Ever” is a collection of apocalyptic summer jams which explore the impending end of days; the grief of knowing our time is near, a last chance at an old love, the chaos of our final moments, and the ultimate communion of all the spirits of the human race: past, present and future.

++"Long before you arrive at a Not Blood Paint show the rumours reach you. They are music, they are spectacle, they are hit ’n run theater, car crash club night, they are a disorientating re-imagining of what four men, five coats of make-up and accomplished musicality can do with a six by ten space. Tonight begins with sacramental wine, occult chanting and a swelling audience. Before long we are guided on laundromat flirtations, pantyhose washing one-liners, we get a how-to on histrionic four-part harmonies, witty interplay and languorous bass-lines and that’s just in “Watch Your Mouth”. Beyond the immersive physical theater, beyond the site-specific improv and pageantry NBP sound as much post-punk as post-prog, as much pastiche as parody, they are a guided tour through a minefield of ambitious, dynamic melodies and assorted guilty pleasures. Not since the Horrors pillaged krautrock and post-punk has a band’s Vinyl collection been a subject of such insatiable scrutiny." -Daniel Gill, Free Williamsburg
