Despite the false death certificate and an obviously Photoshopped screen capture of MTVNews.com's main page that circulated the Web on Monday, Cobra Starship frontman Gabe Saporta is doing just fine. But he did have to take time out of his busy schedule playing the Warped Tour to issue a MySpace update under the headline "I'm Not Dead." It simply read, "Sorry to disappoint."

Saporta was very much alive and well earlier this month, when MTV News caught up with him at Pete Wentz's Lollapalooza afterparty in Chicago. He told John Norris about Cobra Starship's Warped experience, and discussed the band's upcoming plans.

"The thing is, we're on the Warped Tour now, and we've never played Warped before, and we're not like a typical Warped band, but I guess a lot of kids asked us to be there," he said. "So, we're playing the mosh set on Warped, because we want to make sure the kids get to beat the sh-- out of each other, because we know that's what they like to do.

"When you think Warped, you don't think of a band like us," Saporta continued. "We wear a lot of bright clothes, we shake our butts a lot, we're very sarcastic, we're electronic. Usually, Warped is about the mosh. But the truth is, the scene is changing a lot these days. And what unites all the bands on Warped isn't a specific musical sound, but it's more of an ethic. There are so many different types of bands on Warped, I can't tell you how surprised I am to have made friends with some of these bands that I thought were totally going to think we're pu----s. Like Story of the Year — I just thought they'd hate us. They listen to metal, they have tattoos, and we're best buds on this tour. The common thread of Warped is the ethic."

As soon as the band finishes its final Warped set on August 17 in Carson, California, Saporta told us that the group will be hopping a plane to Australia, where they'll be touring with Panic at the Disco. The singer grumbled about the fact that the band has had no rest, and that the flight Down Under would take an entire day.

"It's OK," he said. "I'll sleep when I'm dead."
