“Best Reason to Pawn Your Karaoke Machine”
”One of the most beloved bands in originality obsessed Austin should be no surprise to anyone who’s seen them do “Hot Legs.” Or packed into Antone’s for their ELO tribute. Or salivated over their looming “Eighties explosion. What started as a goof among friends has certainly grown – have them quote their fee sometime – but hasn’t really changed; it’s still a bunch of friends, who happen to be some of Austin’s most talented musicians, getting together to jam on songs they all grew up on. The songs may be other people’s, but what makes SKYROCKET! so delicious
is that they do them with a style all their own.”
