L.A. COBRA, Glam metal/Sleaze metal/hair metal outfit from Pretoria, South Africa that formed in November 2005.
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 Harley's whilst making a name for themselves internationally and locally. L.A. Cobra has been let loose to cause a rebellion amongst the youth with their revival of the 80’s glam era. Largely influenced by 80’s rock bands like Mötley Crüe, Guns & Roses, WASP and Skid Row, L.A. COBRA is all about girls, Harley's, 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 song-writing as we know them, these guys are the real deal, and live Rock and Roll!
Their music style and look makes this band not only unique to the South Africa market but also the international market. They break away from all modern hard rock and nu metal genres, combining hard hitting 80’s rock with modern power and finesse. In fact they play Sleazy Hair Metal once popular in the early to late 1980’s.
With their over-the-top antics you can say they are a modern glam rock band, not only by their looks and sound but the bands general outrages stage behavior. L.A Cobra is all about girls, Harley’s, big hair, guitars and a good time.
L.A Cobra’s music influences come from many types of music ranging from 70’s rock bands like Kiss to bands like The Eagles, White Snake and Skid Row.
