LA-based all-girl punk/glam/rock band Rocket just added a show in Sacramento on Friday, October 2nd at the Townhouse. They have just finished an album (produced by Matt Squire), and they’re also fresh off an appearance on HBO’s True Blood playing a “fake” band, “The God Rockets”. The girls have played in the area (Orangevale, Marysville) with the Horrorpops, the Suicide Girls and on the Van’s Warped tour, but this is their first time in Sacramento proper. The details:
