Like A Rocket

Is a three piece band based in Boise, Idaho. Fronted by respected singer, songwriter and guitarist Speedy Gray, along with the talented duo of Z.V. House on bass and other various insturments, and Max Kymenko on drums, Like A Rocket plays music like you've seldom heard before. Call the genre Goth-Country, Like A Rocket has been named:

" ..a soundtrack to a Coen Brothers film. Sometimes comic, sometimes up lifting and often haunting.."

"One of the best bands in the NW.."

"A link between the spacy sounds of 70's rock and classic country. Think Pink Floyd meets Willie..."

This is LAR's 2nd full length album, following the well recieved HEY MAN! released in 2011.

Speedy grew up in the heady break-out Southern New Wave/Punk scene...

Surrounded by friends and musicians like Dexter Romwebber, Mike Stipe, Mike Mills, the B52s, Mitch Easter, and a slew of others, he was steeped, quite literally in Southern Gospel, and stinky rock and rollers. His Mom's house was a haven for poor musicians, with a plate of potatos and chicken preceeded by a blessing available for any travelling punk that had the deceny to say thank you. (Henry Rollins slept on my floor once. So I have that going for me...DONATE NOW!)

Z.V. House is the bassist and more in LAR and our only Boise native. Zack also fronts A Seasonal Disguise, a fantastic Boise Indie group

Max is a transplant from Kiev, Ukraine. A product of the former USSR music program, Max is not only a great drummer, but an amazing dancer and DJ. WHO KNEW?

We Need Your MONEY! What Else?! Hahaha!

Please tell me you are laughing, too. Hahahah (Open your wallet, remove CC, enter #)

But instead of asking for a handout...

We just want your trust. If you give us $ will will reward you with a better than break even deal. Think of this a loan. You get the same thing as everyone else for your money, but you get it plus more. A added download, a poster, a Tee. Someting extra at ever level.

Basically we need $1000 to master and press the record. The recording is all done. And with the sales of the CD  we will be reinvesting in a follow up EP on vinyl that will continue the story in Welcome To Anhedonia. An many of you will receive that follow up before it is available on the market.

Some special extras include limited edition posters, Tees and stickers. For many you'll get access to the next EP as a download months before it's release!

THIS RECORD IS GOING TO BE RELEASED EVEN IF YOU CAN'T HELP!

But I may have to sell my car to make sure it does...

I can say flat out that this is a great record. I'm willng to bet everything on it:

But your help will make it a lot easier. How many great records didn't get made that you may have cherished if you ever heard them? What if you favorite song didn't get recorded because the artist was broke?

Well, it doesn't matter because this record is getting made, but still.. WHAT IF BARRY MANILOW'S "MANDY" NEVER WAS RECORDED? WHAT IF??!!!
