    ..GoGirlsMusic.com is proud to present the 8th annual.. ..Invasion of the GoGirls.. during Austin's annual "South by".. weekend : March 13-15, 2008.. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. Annie, Jon and Jeff got together in early 2006 to play a few gigs together in the Dallas area. They quickly realized that they had a unique sound that crossed boundries of folk, rock, country, jazz and blues. Drummer April Samuels keeps everyone on time and reminds us that high tops are a MUST in the wardrobe! While Annie writes the majority of the tunes Rocket Girl performs , they also play tunes written by Nick Lowe, Brian Wilson, Smithereens and the occasional ACDC tune! And yes.... Jon and Jeff are related....

    Dear Rocket Girl,
    Annie, Jeff, Jon and the highly-rockin' Mz April, it was certainly my extreme pleasure to sit in with you at Mystics, Mutts and Moonpies on Saturday. It was so much fun and I hope we'll do it again soon!!! Am working on that. You haven't all seen this but this is how I looked when I left Atlantic, Iowa, to join the production of Showboat. My dad begged me not to go and said nothing good ever came from being a drummer of any sort. Now, after all these years, I finally realize he was totally right. Well, unless you get to drum next to April. Smile.
    ROCKET GIRL RAWKS BIG TIME.
    All my best,
    Billy Bucher

    Surprisingly cool music in a surprisingly comfortable venue. Those boots made me a bit uncomfortable though...ha-ha. (But then...I live barefoot as much as possible anyway.)
