Cobra Starship has scored a summer hit with "Good Girls Go Bad" thanks, in part, Leighton Meester's guest vocals. But bassist Alex Suarez admits he wasn't familiar with the Gossip Girl star before they met.

"I’ve never seen the show," he tells Self.com. (The former caterer prepares a summer salad and panini for the site, too.) "Before we went to do the video shoot, I didn't even know what she looked like until they introduced me to her."

That wasn't the case for lead singer Gabe Saporta. "[H]e was insanely excited because he's a huge fan and he didn't want to geek out too hard in front of her," says Suarez.

Meester, 23, didn't disappoint: "[S]he is so nice! She's so friendly and professional and awesome to work with," gushes the bassist.
