3OH!3 is already hard at work recording the follow-up to their breakthrough Photo Finish debut, "WANT," collaborating once again with a number of the studio superstars -- including Matt Squire (Panic At The Disco, All Time Low), Benny Blanco (Katy Perry, Ke$ha), and Dr. Luke (Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson) -- that made the album a undeniable crossover phenomenon. The as-yet-untitled collection is currently slated for release this summer, with the lead single shipping to radio this May.
What's more, 3OH!3 will contribute a new track, entitled "Follow Me Down," to "ALMOST ALICE," a musical companion to Walt Disney Pictures' upcoming film, Alice In Wonderland. The album arrives on March 2nd, while the Tim Burton-directed film hits theatres on March 5th.
The Boulder, Colorado-based electro duo -- currently featured on Ke$ha's Top 10 smash, "Blah Blah Blah" -- were among the biggest pop successes of 2009. Their blockbuster single, "Don't Trust Me," was a true sensation, reaching #1 at CHR/Pop radio while also achieving double platinum certification from the RIAA for sales now exceeding 2.6 million. "Don't Trust Me" was followed by a second major hit in "Starstrukk (Feat. Katy Perry)" which was recently certified RIAA platinum.
3OH!3 also earned a reputation as a stunning live act, selling out shows around the world and receiving a "Best Tour" nomination at the 2009 mtvU Awards. Other 2009 accolades included a prestigious "Best New Artist" nod at the MTV Video Music Awards. The duo's music was also ever-present in a host of TV shows, including ABC's Dancing With The Stars, The CW's The Vampire Diaries, and MTV's The City, The Hills, The Real World, and The Buried Life. As if all that weren't enough, 3OH!3 were even featured in a question on the syndicated game show, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.
Cobra Starship are currently about to embark on a massive worldwide itinerary, beginning in February with the "Hot Mess Across The EU-Niverse" European Tour. The trek -- which includes eagerly awaited headline shows in the UK, Ireland, Germany, France, and the Netherlands -- will be followed by a series of Japanese dates and a further headline tour of Australia and New Zealand, dubbed the "Wet Hot Australian Summer" Tour.
The extensive tour schedule comes as the band's latest single, "Hot Mess," debuted on Billboard's "Hot 100." The track's companion video is proving just as popular, having just been added into rotation at MTV after premiering on all MTV platforms this past November.
"HOT MESS," Cobra Starship's smash third album, entered the Billboard 200 at #4 upon its August 2009 release, marking the New York-based band's highest chart ranking to date. Among the album's many highlights is the Top 5 CHR/Pop hit, "Good Girls Go Bad (Feat. Leighton Meester),"which has since been certified platinum by the RIAA for sales in excess of 1.7 million.
Earlier this month, Cobra Starship blew up the stage at CBS' annual People's Choice Awards, performing a medley of both Hot Mess" and "Good Girls Go Bad," the latter of which was nominated in the "Favorite Collaboration" category. Other accolades in 2009 included a "Best Pop" video nomination at the MTV Video Music Awards. In addition, the bands music has been featured in a variety of TV shows, including CSI: Miami, MTV's The Hills, as the main title for MTV's The Stylist, Fox's So You Think You Can Dance, Bravo's Real Housewives, The CW's Gossip Girl, and ABC's Ugly Betty.
Travie McCoy is currently putting the final touches on his much-anticipated solo debut, set for release this summer. Known far and wide as the frontman of alternative hip-hop superstars Gym Class Heroes, McCoy recently took a break from his recording schedule to visit India, South Africa, and the Philippines as the official ambassador of MTV's Staying Alive Foundation, an international mass media campaign working to prevent the spread of HIV and AIDS. As part of Gym Class Heroes, he achieved international stardom with the band's 2006's RIAA gold certified "AS CRUEL AS SCHOOL CHILDREN," which featured the multi-format #1 hit, "Cupid's Chokehold/Breakfast In America." The following year saw them named both "Best Group" and Best New Artist" at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards. "THE QUILT," released in 2008, earned critical praise for its unique collaborations with such diverse stars as Busta Rhymes, Estelle, The-Dream, and Daryl Hall. In addition to his solo effort, McCoy and Gym Class Heroes are currently writing a new album, due out this later this year.
