Our Story:

When you think of Rocket, think of driving along an L.A. beach in an open-top, bright pink Cadillac.

Rocket is a revolutionary concoction of fun, parties, bubblegum and beating hearts. Coquettishness-meets-bombast, kittens-meet-rattlesnakes; Rocket is the launching pad for a new generation of pop.

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 during an early Motley Crue gig.

Starting out as a threesome of Laurens, Rocket released their first album, "Too Hot to be Bothered," in 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. The E.P., "Girls With Candy Hearts" followed in early 2006.

Since then, the girls have honed their craft opening for Rancid, OK Go, The Sounds, Morningwood, Kill Hannah, The Ark, SuicideGirls and Diamond Nights. The summer of 2006 also marked the girls' first US tour. Asked to join in on the Van's Warped Tour, Rocket traveled day and night on the highways of America, attracting the attention of boys and girls from San Francisco to New York and every city in between.
