The Atomic Rockets were formed back in 2006 as a strictly rockabilly band by Tyler, Kaleb and former bassist JD Gutermuth. After the quick addition of the brilliance of Adam Maslia, the Rockets soon crafted their own form of rock n' roll they've recently titled "Rocketbilly".
After about half a year of writing the Rockets went into the studio with new upright bassist Ian Mastrogiacomo. The product of this session was the three acclaimed songs "Sixgun", "Saturday Night" and "Cruisin' 85". "Cruisin' 85" even went on to receive multiple airplay on the popular 88.5 WRAS radio show Psychobilly Freakout.
After too long, The Atomic Rockets recorded a full length album, "Let's Go Out Tonight" entailing the previous three songs plus four more including the song "Black Cadillac" which also received airplay.
Again the next Rockets milestone was recording. A trip up to Memphis resulted in a recording session at Sam Phillips Studios (where the Cramps recorded their first record) with rockabilly guitar legend Roland Janes (lead player for Jerry Lee Lewis & Billy Lee Riley). Some songs were re-recorded, and several new ones were added.
With the recent addition of Hellcat Willy on bass and more shows with more great bands rolling in, The Atomic Rockets have no plans of stopping.
