L.A. Cobra will launch their third studio album, Shotgun Slinger, this year. Swedish rock star, Martin Sweet, from CRASHDIET, Sweet Creature, and Sister is producing, mixing, and mastering the new album. In order to cover production costs, L.A. Cobra has made available a range of merchandise for their fans.
Over the past three and a half years, L.A. Cobra wrote and recorded the songs featured on the Shotgun Slinger album.
Shotgun Slinger is the band’s third studio album and while the distinctive Cobra essence is still present, the record provides a fresh approach to the South African sleaze rock sound.
With Swedish rocker, Martin Sweet, (CRASHDIET, Sweet Creature, Sister) handling the production, mixing and mastering of the record, the fans can expect only the best that L.A. Cobra has to offer.
Producing a quality record isn’t cheap. Making sure the album is available to all the Cobra fans worldwide is a top priority.
L.A. Cobra is asking for your help to make this record a reality. All the hard work that has gone into this album will pay off once we reach our target in this campaign.
We will launch the music video for the title track halfway through the campaign.
We have also made available a range of products to help us raise funds for the launch of the album.
We ask you to spread the word and to encourage all your friends to buy our album and merchandise through this campaign. We need as many people as possible to support this campaign in order to release the ‘Shotgun Slinger’ album.
Tipping point: The tipping point for this campaign is set at R40 000. If we reach this amount, we will be able to finish the production of the album.
Dream funding goal: Should we reach our dream funding goal of R70 000, we will be able to print the album in CD format as well as release the digital version on iTunes, Google Play store, Amazon, and more online platforms. We will also be able to shoot another music video.
Formed in November 2005, L.A. Cobra is the Only Sleaze/Glam/Hair Metal band On the African Continent.
They are the “Sleaze Rocking Hair Metal Stars” from Pretoria – flying the 80’s Glam Rock Flag from the handlebars of their Harleys whilst making a name for themselves internationally and locally. Like the well-known song Of Queen, “Tie your mother down, lock your daddy out of doors”, L.A. Cobra has been let loose to cause a rebellion among the youth with their revival of the 80’s glam era.
Largely influenced by 80’s rock bands like Motley Crue, Poison, Guns & Roses, Kiss, WASP and Skid Row, L.A. COBRA is all about girls, Harleys, big hair and a good time, bringing back those memorable guitar solo’s and “balls to the wall” hard rock shows we’re all starved for with a modern twist from their songwriting as we know them, these guys are the real deal, and live Rock and Roll.
Don Cobra – Vocals and Guitar
Slade – Guitar and backing vocals
Ewil – Bass and backing vocals
Callie ‘The Animal’ – Drums
The money raised in this campaign will cover the cost of the final stages of production of the record.
The funds will also be used for merchandise, videos, and the distribution of the album.
Should we exceed our goal, the money will be used to cover costs of an extensive South African and Scandinavian tour.
L.A. Cobra is the only sleaze rock band in Africa.
Breaking hearts and melting faces since 2005.
