Founded in 1974 by Crocus Behemoth
a.k.a. David Thomas in the run-down industrial town of Cleveland/Ohio Rocket From The Tombs (RFTT) mixed noisy freeform avantgarde rock with brutal, basic proto-punk. Their nihilistic lyrics made even the Velvet Underground and the Stooges looking pale in comparison. After just two years and without a proper release the band disbanded. Bandmembers like David Thomas, Cheetah Chrome and Craig Bell are using the RFTT songbook after the split for their following projects. RFTT songs appear in the setlists for Pere Ubu, the Dead Boys and Saucers. In 2002 a long awaited CD-retrospective is the motive for the surviving Rockets members to play out live again. The void that was created by original RFTT guitar player Peter Laughners untimely death at the end of the 70´s is filled by Richard Lloyd, guitar player for New York City´s punk and indie pioneers Television. Since the reunion shows the band is hailed by the press as one of the long lost juwels of rock & roll history. Rocket From the Tombs will play for the first time in Europe and appear exclusively at the Punk! Kongress. |
