HoboEye Music:
Something For Rockets, Los Angeles, CA

Rami Perlman, son of living-legend violin virtuoso Itzhak Perlman, was introduced to music at conception. With Vivaldi and Motzart perpetually soaring from his father's study, and mainstream pop radio saturating his youthful ears (like any child of the 80s), Perlman's bevy of musical influences was forged.

Perlman met Josh Eichenbaum while attending Brown University where Eichenbaum studied computer music and composition. During this time, Perlman was writing straight-from-the-heart, bare-bones guitar songs, and the two recorded during their senior year. The duo packed up for L.A. to begin working on what would become Something For Rockets. Enter Barry Davis, ex-drummer of Boston's Mori Stylez—a fusion outfit with a local cult following. With a sensitive touch and keen feel for many different styles, Davis slid perfectly into Something For Rockets musical stew.

After completing a self-titled three-song EP, Something For Rockets began generating a massive buzz in the L.A. area, selling out the Echo and Knitting Factory, in addition to playing a number of high profile gigs for Friendster and most recently at the LACMA. They were also showcased as "Band of the Month" by BMI. L.A. radio started to take notice, particularly Steve Jones at Indie 103.1. Jones started pushing the single "Might As Well" on his hit show Jonesy's Jukebox. Others followed stations such as KCRW and college favorite KXLU. The press followed, with a nationally syndicated piece in the L.A. Times, along with features in the L.A. Daily News, Campus Circle, and Heeb just to name a few.

Something For Rockets infuses hypnotic dance-floor beats with lush melody and poignant lyrics. Evocative, intelligent and stylish, the result is a sound that is both vintage and futuristic, dark and playful, all anchored by the romantic sentiment of young-and hopeless self destruction... and they also rock! Something For Rockets delights with electric live shows that often uncontrollably turn into dance parties.
