Cobra Starship was formed in 2005 after Midtown bassist Gabe Saporta took a trip to the deserts of Arizona. During this time, Saporta went on a "vision quest", spending time with Native American tribes and smoking peyote. He began to create his vision for a new band, a melodic style of music heavily influenced by synthpop while angels are singing in the background and hip-hop. Upon returning home, Saporta rented a house in the Catskill Mountains and began writing what would become the band\'s debut album, While the City Sleeps, We Rule the Streets. He posted a parody response to Gwen Stefani\'s "Hollaback Girl" titled "Hollaback Boy" on Myspace. The song gained Saporta notoriety on the internet and he eventually signed to Decaydance Records, the label of his good friend and Fall Out Boy\'s bassist Pete Wentz.\n', '
