Named Austin's Best Cover Band, Skyrocket plays AM-radio "solid gold" hits from the 1970's, mixed with edgy favorites from the 80's - songs you forgot you knew and loved. This seven-piece band takes its name from the series of "super hits" compilation albums advertised on TV in the '70's, and much of the band's repertory appeared on those records. If you're thinking "classic rock", think again. Skyrocket steers clear of typical rock and dance standards driven into the ground by radio and karaoke, and breathes new life into old hits that made you laugh hack then - and make you laugh "oh, yeah!" today.
