Bio
Brisbane’s The Rocketsmiths are one of the best up and coming bands in the Australian music scene at the moment and recent times have proven why. After releasing their second critically acclaimed EP, “Meet Horace and Clyde” in June 2007, the band have gone from strength to strength all over the country after a series of impressive tours, support slots and incredibly exciting and energetic headline shows. Playing a style of music that has been dubbed everything from “Carnie Rock” to “Vaudevillian Indie Rock Popabilly”, The Rocketsmiths sound (and play) like no other band in the Australian music scene and their latest EP, which was released nationally through MGM in July last year, is just a taste of what this amazing band from Brisbane are capable of. The Australian music scene will be waiting with bated breath for The Rocketsmiths’ next EP which has just been recorded with ARIA award winning producer Magoo and is set for release in the second half of 2008.

Well done boys. Just when I was ready to give up on the local music scene I saw these guys live at the Troubadour and danced my face off. Cant wait for the EP launch.
