Skyrocket playing live music at Buck's Backyard in Buda, Texas. Come enjoy hit songs from the 70s and 80s played by Skyrocket.In a music city obsessed with originality, Skyrocket is perhaps the most creative and singular cover band ever to emerge from Austin, Texas (or anywhere). An organic mash-up of successful musicians, visual artists, and actors, Skyrocket is an irresistible tribute to the very best of the Vinyl Era. Skyrocket’s witty and fearless attitude all started when a group of friends (veterans from Austin’s indie-rock, alternative, and songwriter scenes) discovered their common craze for the days of anthem-hits, and one-hit wonders. From there, Skyrocket spread its wings to include all the AM/FM singles they loved growing up. With each band member proficient at many instruments, they boldly tackled material that other bands wouldn’t… note for note… to frightening levels of accuracy.The members of Skyrocket bring years of touring, recording and event programming experience to the stage, yet they approach all performances with an uncontrived spirit of energetic fun. Fans embrace Skyrocket with the same fervor as they do their favorite original artists. "On paper, Skyrocket offers an impressive service, having worked up a songbook of more than 500 hit songs from the ’70s and ’80s. In practice, the Austin-based ensemble does something more remarkable: The band breathes new life into these touchstone tunes. Skyrocket is less a cover band playing old tunes than an immersive experience of shared energy… Any Skyrocket show is a joyous event.” — Andrew Dansby, Houston Chronicle, 2023
