OH, NO, EGADS, WHOA .... it's COBRA VERDE on "THE OC"!!!

Oh, yes. On Sept. 15, "THE OC" will feature "Get the Party Started,"
off our new disc "COPYCAT KILLERS." Those "OC" people wanted
something
"hot" and "snazzy" to "make the show more exciting" ... within
minutes
the phone rang and they requested some CV action. Unfortunately, they
turned down a scene we wrote to go with the song...

SUGGESTED TREATMENT: "Cobra Verde plays 'quirky' hippie jams in the
cafeteria as Seth and Summer go wilding in high school -- smoking pot
and
getting all horny in the janitor's closet..."

Mark even offered to drop his drumsticks, break out his jump suit and
mop and play the janitor! But no... Anyway, CV is going to be
on "THE
OC" Sept. 15... Last month, we were on "Rescue Me." This month "THE
OC." Next month ... "The Apprentice"?

OTHER CV NEWS: A bunch of reviews digging the new disc, "COPYCAT
KILLERS," are out, including something very nice that appears
in "ROLLING
STONE"....a lot of the stuff is up on cobraverde.com... also, if
