The Rocketeers | en

There are 2 bands with the name The Rocketeers.

(1) The Rocketeers are a four piece indie pop rock group from Adelaide, South Australia. The all singing, self-deprecating, indie geek band consists of Cam McTernan, Dan McPharlin and Jack Thomson.

Drawing influences from artists such as The Arctic Monkeys, The White Stripes, The Wombats and Two Door Cinema Club, the Rocketeers have a penchant for science fiction, movies and games, which inspire much of their lyrics. Live the Rocketeers are known for their humour, energy and commitment to their songs.

The Rocketeers have recently received a wave of support for their first single 'Manic Pixie Dream Girl', giving it a live on air debut at Radio Adelaide, followed by a sold out single launch at Adelaide's Rhino Room. Paired with the hard hitting B-side, Steve Martin, these two songs show both extremes of The Rocketeers; fun dancey pop and thumping indie rock.



(2) The Rocketeers are a hip hop duo from Indianapolis, Indiana and Chicago, Illinois. The duo consist of Darius "D-Win" Windfield" (from Indianapolis,IN) and Lance "Johnny Rocket" Howard (Chicago, IL). The two met randomly of the bus about year and a half ago. D-Win just got off from a long day at work and got on the bus, and over heard Johnny Rocket talking to his sister. He was saying,"Man i wish i had some artist to work with, musically". D-Win over heard the conversation and from there they linked up, and would later become The Rocketeers. The Rocketeers have done shows at The Funky Buddah Lounge in Chicago, Fiesta Cantina in Chicago, Columbia College Chicago, Dusabled Museum Chicago, Florida Memorial University,Club Spin and Ugly Money in Indianapolis,IN. The Rocketeers are inspired by N.E.R.D, C.R.S, Outkast, and Gnarles Barkley.

The Rocketeers are currently working on the E.P, "Blue Clouds, White Skies".Which will be released in 2009. It will be released under there own independent label Rocketeer Music. Stupid Fresh and Saved By The Bell are the leading singles .
