“That’s right, move over Kanye, guess who just replaced you in the Nano ads!
Wanna know the crazy thing? no ONE even knew about it! not us, not FBR – nobody. which is kind of badass that apple just does what they want. we dont get paid, nor do we get free gear, or even a discount code to use on checkout. nothing. but fuck – that used to be kanye west in the purple nano – and now it’s motherfuckin COBRAS! I just think it’s fuckin rad that we’ve made enough of a niche into pop culture that someone at apple decided to associate us with the color purple. Of course all of you guys know, but it’d dope to see your fuckin record all over these stores like that. Now i just need my own Crayola Cobra Purple and my life will be complete. “
I think it’s funny that they didn’t know about it until they saw it. Just saw these guys in concert a few weeks ago and they put on a great show. Check out their albums on iTunes, you won’t be disappointed.
I also find this extra amusing due to the recent Colbert vs Kayne ‘fued’, Operation Humble Kayne. (Colbert videos after the break, sorry for non US visitors they are Hulu vids)
