San Francisco Bay Area’s best kept secret is coming out of the shadows. After years touring and recording as a local underground punk/rap/vaudeville “secret society”, Crockett, CA’s amazing musical carnival known as Mystic Knights of the Cobra (M.K.O.T.C.) has recently been lifted into the international limelight after news broke that one of their singer/rapper’s Lady Cobra (artist Monica Painter), will be appearing as a collaborator on the song “Nightlife” on the Green Day's album, “DOS!”, released November 13th, 2012 . She is also the muse for yet another track on the same album – a track named for her - entitled “Lady Cobra”.

In their 5 years as a band, they have played with many successful local, national and international acts including Green Day, Nashville Pussy, Foxboro Hot Tubs, The Frustrators, Classics of Love (feat. Jesse Michaels of Operation Ivy), Foxy Shazam, Guttermouth,The Stripminers (members of X and The Donnas) and countless more incredible bands.

In 2009, the band released the full length album, “There Is No End”, developing a cult type following . The album received widespread critical acclaim from many press outlets and further strengthened the Cobras already avid and loyal audience. Regional tours to Southern California, the West Coast, the East Coast and the Southwest further stirred up a louder buzz due to the band’s high-energy punk n’ roll stage performances.

Mystic Knights of the Cobra are currently finishing the follow up to “There Is No End” – “Fade To Pink” EP is in honor of their late guitarist, Paul “Call Me Donny” Dominguez recorded at Oakland’s Dutch Oven Studios. The album will be mastered by the legendary George Horn at Fantasy Studios and is set for a December 2012 release.
