| About rocket |
When you think of Rocket, think of driving along an L.A. beach in an open-top, bright pink, 1964 Cadillac. Rocket is a revolutionary concoction of fun, parties, candy, bubblegum, and beating hearts. Coquettishness-meets-bombast, kittens-meet-rattlesnakes; Rocket is the launching pad for a new generation of glam/pop flounce.
The all-girl band mixes 60's girl group innocence with 70's decibel-damaging boulevard beat, combined with 80's glam wham swagger. A volatile combination that leaves one wondering what the results would be if the Shangri-Las crash landed onstage at the Starwood during an early Motley Crue gig. Starting out as a threesome of Laurens, Rocket released their first album in the summer of 2005. Evolving into a five-piece rock n roll circus later that year, their first-ever live show was a headlining, sold-out smash at the legendary Viper Room.
Opening for such acts as The Sounds, Morningwood, Kill Hannah, The Ark, SuicideGirls and Diamond Nights, Rocket's only option is to move further up the totem pole of rock n roll hierarchy. The Summer of 2006 also marked the girl's first tour. Asked to join in on 2006's VAN'S WARPED TOUR, Rocket traveled day and night on the highways of America attracting the attention of boys and girls eager for Rocket's demanding, raw and heart-pounding action!
Southern Californias reigning princesses of summertime party brattiness invite you to experience thier songstress vibrations with "Girls With Candy Hearts," a brand new E.P. featuring seven more slices of deliciously bright n tight tunes guaranteed to jam the jukebox. All fuzz n buzz and junk shop pop production, the E.P. contains a newly-penned pair of powerpop gems in Not That Kind Of Girl and Breakup Season, plus Guitar Center Love Song, a sweet and sour ballad that sounds like the runaway teenage daughter of Pet Sounds and the Pooh Sticks.
