 “Rocket from the Crypt was an American rock band led by John Reis, formed in 1990 in San Diego, California and disbanded in 2005. Of Reis' many musical endeavors, Rocket from the Crypt were the most successful and most internationally recognized.[citation needed]
The band gained critical praise and the attention of major record labels after the release of their 1992 album Circa: Now!, leading to a recording contract with Interscope Records. They experienced a surge of popularity with the release of the albums Scream, Dracula, Scream! (1995) and RFTC (1998), accompanied by numerous vinyl singles and EPs released on independent labels. However, album sales were not as high as expected and Interscope soon turned their attention to higher-grossing acts. The band left the label, and shortly thereafter drummer Atom Willard departed the group.
After a period of inactivity in 1999 and 2000, during which Reis formed Hot Snakes and Sultans and launched his Swami Records label, the band signed to Vagrant Records and recruited new drummer Ruby Mars. They experienced a revitalization of creative energy and released two more albums, but were not as prolific as in the past. Over the next few years the band members drifted into other projects and Rocket from the Crypt became less the focus. They decided to disband in 2005, playing a sold-out farewell show on Halloween in their hometown of San Diego.”

Rocket From The Crypt: Born in '69 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kpm_g14JcdsThere's so much more I'd post but I like this video. And they didn't make many videos. So. Uh... From the farewell gig, I'm Not Invisible http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J09oMedFDVsHonestly, the absolute best band I've ever seen live. And I'll count all the live concerts I've seen on TV/DVD in that too. My only regret is seeing them once. To my mind, if you're talking rock 'n' roll, then RFTC are the very definition of that term.

I am not even going to start submitting as if I do I wont stop. Besides my elitist nature will probably be really really cheesed off with the result

My official ELO nomination is Showdown. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_IYTTSLsWwThis is probably one of the best commercial tracks Lynne produced in the early to middle years of the band. Sadly, some of the best album tracks never made the charts (not released as singles), so they're not readily found on YouTube or elsewhere. _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter.

We seem to have a lot of greasy-haired americans from the 80s and not enough Buddy Holly/The Beatles/Elvis Presley
Give me some pondering time.
