They are the worst band on the planet - - - period. Triple Cobra, however - I totally agree with Eryn. Great songs, great looks, great show. Me and all my friends were totally impressed. We were there to check out Immigrant, who were good, but not really as impressive as Triple Cobra. I guess you could take or leave the singer's voice. Personally I think it's good.

I was actually looking forward to seeing them. Their studio sound has a catchy electronic appearance that varies from a sweet emo voice to dance tunes that resemble (though are much weaker than) The Faint. Still it would be a good start to the night ... i thought. Not so! The lead singer so was so out of his mind that he couldn't even follow the songs. If you were to purposefully try and sing their songs off-key and off beat, i don't think you could do as bad as he did. Even throw in some sweaty faced self-groping and stumbling, flailing dance moves. (why not, he did) His band even seemed to be embarrassed. Not one of them made eye contact with the lead or the audience EVER throughout the entire performance. Did they pick up this skill in band practice? Not the first time this has happened, perhaps? Once we were spared this torture (i.e. they ended their 'set') i noticed the keyboardist scolding the lead for his behavior. To which I briefly saw the lead mouth "yeah, but they (pointing to the audience) weren't...." Don't even pretend that you gave the worst performance of your life because the audience wasn't giving you enough love and support. Don't even go there! On a more positive note, I have to say that I really like Triple Cobra's leads voice. I think it's solid and dynamic. They're getting close to perfecting their sound. They have several songs that are instantly catchy. Not much more I can say about Immigrant except that they rock. They are ready to be discovered. Somebody discover them goddammit!!!

Once we were spared this torture (i.e. they ended their ’set’) i noticed the keyboardist scolding the lead for his behavior. To which I briefly saw the lead mouth “yeah, but they (pointing to the audience) weren’t….” Don’t even pretend that you gave the worst performance of your life because the audience wasn’t giving you enough love and support.
