The ROCKETZ / Straight Shooter

The Rocketz started in 2004 playing their first show Mar 2004. Their debut release Rise of the undead dropped one year later in Mar 2005. The Rocketz have a new release "We Are..." available Feb 14 2009. Both recordings feature Andrew Martinez on drums. Andrew was the glue that held The Rocketz together and to tragically lose him Jan 11 2009, was a huge blow to the rock and roll world and a heart wrenching loss to his family and closest friends. Anthony Drinkwater son to Tony Slash was Andy's protegie stepping in to drum when Andy toured with Nekromantix and under Andy's tutilage became a solid fill in till the tragedy. Family and friends all agreed only Anthony could fill those shoes and has blossomed into a monster on the drums and the new backbone of The Rocketz.

Straight Shooter is a 4pc band from Los Angeles, CA whose work recalls the nostalgic American sound of Rockabilly, Honky Tonk, and Traditional Country -- but while these influences resonate deep within their music, these boys put a modern spin on it all, combining the raw energy and sound of Rock 'n Roll.
