Cobra Khan

Cobar Khan’s 2005 emergence from the wreckage of New Zealand hard hitters Sommerset, Day One and Balance has provided the Auckland rock scene with a band that is more than the sum of its parts.

Since the 2006 release of their mini album Sleepless Lions Cobra Kahn has built on the live reputation of their previous incarnations, garnering a big and loyal local fanbase.

But disinterested in retreading old ground and playing to the conventions, Cobra Khan have sidestepped genre restrictions and audience expectations to make their debut album Helgorithms, set for release in October 08.

Boasting heavy hooks and guitar-driven joints that push the boundaries of contemporary metal and punk rock, Cobra Kahn come to the gig with a set list sure to impress.
