Cobra Kites was a band of friends in Richmond, VA featuring Josh Poteat and Jason Bishop, formerly members of Bells on Trike. There isn't much to be said about the band. They came together as friends and recorded a 4 song demo/ep in 2000 or 2001 that they put out on 20 or 30 handmade CDrs made by Chris Hope (front pictured here). They would only play one show together "at a tiny club in Richmond. Opened for a band with folks from Ida."
The recording is AMAZING, if you ask me. If they must be compared then I would call them a more mellowed out Everyone Asked About You, closing in on the sound of Ida. All four tracks are very good but the last two, ATC 70 and Crop Circles are really incredible. Can't recommend these folks enough!
