On November 10, 2015, after nearly ten years and two Billboard Hot 100 top 10 hits, Saporta announced that the band would stop its work,[1] and that he would be focusing on helping other musicians through his new venture, The Artist Group.
The group released one EP and three LP albums: The Sacrifice of Life, Save the World, Lose the Girl, Living Well Is the Best Revenge and Forget What You Know, respectively.
[2] It was during this time that Saporta who "was quite the businessman"[2] decided he wanted to understand the music business from the other side and started managing a band named Armor For Sleep.
In response to this renewed interest, Midtown reunited for a secret show in Brooklyn and to headline the Skate & Surf Festival in Asbury Park, NJ in 2014.
An early helpful development for Cobra Starship was when Midtown's management company set Saporta up with an opportunity to record a song for the soundtrack to the 2006 action film Snakes on a Plane, which became a minor hit.
From 2006 to 2014, Cobra Starship released four full-length albums, and scored two double-platinum Top 10 hits ("Good Girls Go Bad" and "You Make Me Feel"), as well as one gold record for "Hot Mess".
Saporta and business associate Mike Carden have announced the formation of a talent management firm, T∆G // The Artist Group,[5] which is expected to commence operations in the first quarter of 2016.
Saporta joins Mike Caren (Artist Partner Group), Dave Dederer (founding member of The Presidents of the United States of America), Diana Rodriguez (Criteria Entertainment), Kei Henderson (Third & Hayden), Ray Daniels (Raydar, LLC), and Nick Jarjour (Hipgnosis).
In March 2013, Gabe Saporta was featured on "Make It Out This Town", the first single by American rapper Eve's fourth album Lip Lock.
[2] Disenchanted with the then-ineffective and somewhat corrupt health care system in Uruguay, among other reasons, the elder Saporta elected to leave the country with his family in the early 1980s.
