BIO

THE ROCKETZ

Hail from Los Angeles, CA and blend rockabilly with rock and roll, their sound uniquely identified by the fluid, Gretsch guitar tones and throaty, grainy vocals of front man, Tony “Slash” Red-Horse. Always animated, always passionate, Tony guides the audience on a rollercoaster of emotions about life, love and heartbreak. This power trio sometimes morphs into a four-piece adding either a 2nd guitarist or a sax player or you might be lucky enough to catch the show where he spots a fellow artist in the crowd and simply hands his Gretsch off and proceeds to free style with the band. This is rock and roll at its best! The Rocketz are sustained by the live performance that their studio recordings do not, can not capture. Their magic is personal and intimate and sometimes, tastefully desperate! Follow The Rocketz on any of your favorite social media platforms or simply keep track of them here.
