The Rockets recorded a tune for Nate Winter’s 2009 Halloween EP.  It’s a cover of the hit novelty song “Werewolf Bar Mitzvah,” originally performed by Tracy Jordan.

Nothing like going on at quarter to midnight.

Trying to write some new material for the next record.  Possible inspirations include The Cure’s Faith album and the movie Flatliners.

We bought a PA system from our buddies The Sweetheart Brigade.

It’s loud.

That is all.

The Hot Rockets will be opening for infamous hip-hop outfit The Sweetheart Brigade on Saturday, April 4 at Lilly’s in Lincoln Park.  The show is set to start at 8pm.

Also, there’s a good chance this will be a “record release” show for the Rockets.  And by that I mean we’ll probably be handing out some CDs of the “album” we “recorded” in our practice space.
