"5 bands to watch in 2011"

Watch Out for Rockets – Austin, Texas

Watch Out for Rockets are an Austin-based punk psychedelic pop band, who really are all of those things and more. One thing that you can’t do with this talented, but relatively unknown, band is to categorize their style. As the introduction indicates, they cover a wide range of genres and styles, literally from song to song. That’s a risky thing for a band to do, but WOFR pull it off impressively, on the free EP, Telepathic War Machine.The song that would probably connect with most people is the upbeat, almost 100% pure pop track, “Ghetto and Rye”.

“Ghetto and Rye” – Watch Out For Rockets from Telephatic War Machine – Nov. 16th

The opening track, “Banshee on the Water”, is a low-fi psychedelic track that is creepy and catchy at the same time. It wouldn’t be a surprise to learn that the band are influenced by artists like Velvet Underground, Pink Floyd, Built to Spill, The Beatles and Janes Addiction. Those are the bands that popped into mind while listening to Telephatic War Machine. The title track is another stand out on the EP, with its psychedelic tinged pop song that sounds like it could have been a hit record on underground radio stations in 1969.

You can’t go wrong with this EP; afterall, it’s free. We’ll be watching out in 2011 for more from Watch Out For Rockets. And yes, they are also a band to watch in 2011.

“Big Lies” – Watch Out For Rockets from Telephatic War Machine – Nov. 16th

"this is all of our press"

2-22-2010 - iguessimfloating.blogspot.com
With SXSW less than a month away and waiting like a kid on Christmas to announce our mind-melting event lineup, it's only fitting that I stumble across a fun band from Austin, TX. Watch Out For Rockets plopped into the ole' inbox last week in an unassuming manner, not with flashy graphics or paragraphs of puffery. Nope, with only a link to their MySpace and a "PS. Did I mention we're the greatest band on earth?" it was a chuckle and click later that catapulted me into their tunes and therefore led to an IGIF premiere:
Their debut LP, Beasts With Hearts Of Gold, functions as a typical early development album where a young band is discovering their own sound. Some tracks cater to their strengths of creating melodic meets lo-fi garage rock tunes, such as "Lift Off Cloud Controller". Comparatively, other tracks overflow with acoustics and an undeniable influence from fellow Austinites Spoon. Neither is bad, but with a little more focus and love for their lo-fi sound.. Watch Out For Rockets could certainly create some noteworthy buzz.

Aaron from Austin band Watch Out for Rockets hit me up the other day on the release of their new album 'Beasts with Hearts of Gold'. Its a great piece of varied lo-fi and well worth a listen over at their myspace. Some songs like 'Lift off Cloud Controller' have a shoe-gazey sort of feel while tracks like 'Heart Popper' have a definite indie twang that reminds me of something Modest Mouse would have done in one of their early albums.


Great Bio too (shamelessly poached from their myspace) which is no doubt 100% true:

"In 2007 David T. Jones journeyed to a small village in Nicaragua to teach Dadaist art to the village children. On his third day there a war between rival drug cartels erupted. Afraid for his life, Jones found shelter in an abandoned church. For two weeks he hid out in the church, surviving only on wafers and wine. His meager diet, vast amounts of alcohol and isolation soon led Jones to suffer severe delusions and hallucinations.

As luck would have it his brother Aaron Rimbey, and friend Lucas Urbanski were touring Spanish architecture in South America at the same time. In a strange twist of fate they came upon Jones in the abandoned church, finishing the very last of the wine.

Rimbey and Urbanski nursed Jones back to health, but the drug war had once again made it too dangerous to leave the church. One day they stumbled upon a 4 track tape recorder and instruments that had been left behind by the church band. To fill the endless void of their days they began recording impromptu songs. Two weeks later they had a collection of 17 songs which make up their debut album-Let Me Levitate.

Three months after the American Embassy learned of the plight of Jones, Rimbey, and Urbanski they came to the rescue and put them on a plane headed to America. In September of 2008 they released the album, and Jones headed to The United Arab Emirates to teach scream therapy to political prisoners."

Introducing...Watch Out For Rockets
WATCH OUT FOR ROCKETS are from Austin, Texas and according the blurb they sent me they are the greatest band ever. Now while I'm not quite willing to go out on a limb and say that I will say this...they are certainly an entertaining and intriguing listen. I can't really figure out why but I could have told you they were from Austin just by listening to them. There is something about their sound that screams southwest. Their record, "Beasts With Hearts of Gold" is such an eclectic mix of sounds and structures that it's really hard to pinpoint a given sound. At times they remind me of SPARKLEHORSE, mostly due to the distorted vocals in songs like "Class Action Pant Suit" and "Urgent Serpent Merchant". There is a country swing to some tracks while other have an early PAVEMENT feel to them. In fact, that type of snarky, DIY ethic is probably the unifying force to the record. It sounds like most of the songs were recorded on lo-fi four tracks. It gives the whole album a roughed up feel. There are also touches of THE PIXIES, REVEREND HORTON HEAT and a host of classic punk rock riffs throughout the 20 songs (most of which clock in at 1-2 minutes long).

The highlight of the record for me is "Heart Poppers", which is the closest thing to a traditional rock song on the record. It shows a band that could grow into something more commercial if they chose to go that route and write catchy pop songs. I don't think they will simply due to the rest of the record's more esoteric approach but it's certainly part of their DNA. The nice thing about these guys is their versatility has meant that each time I listen to the record I discover something new, which means the record will stay fresh longer and has so far kept my interest.

I caught Austin band Watch Out For Rockets playing the other week at the Beauty Bar, a small smoky den on a bustling hipster strip. Although they hit the stage a few hours late, they still cranked out an awesome set of guitar-based power pop, though they left out my favorite track, Urgent Serpent Merchant.

Watch Out for Rockets
Beasts With Hearts of Gold
Outside of garage rock, lo-fi's no longer all the rage, but Watch Out for Rockets has some fun with it. Led by Murdocks drummer David Jones, the local trio's sophomore outing is a kaleidoscopic, 20-song trip of carnival beats ("Cattle Prod") and rough-draft pop songs ("Lift Off Cloud Controller") that one-ups the minutemen antics of the Coke Dares.

Watch Out For Rockets Beasts With Hearts Of Gold (Self-released)
Beasts With Hearts Of Gold is a beautiful little gem of a record. Jammed pack with twenty (yes, twenty) songs, it travels the distance between the beginnings of Guided by Voices and early Spoon with unpretentious ease. "Heart Poppers" is particularly Spoon-esque, David Jones' voice sounding so much like young Brit Daniel it's eerie. "Ready the Horses" is another stand-out track, epic guitar hooks sweeping through the lo-fi aesthetic ease. With all the fuss over Texas-based modern garage rock in the last year or so, it's nothing short of amazing these guys haven't been publicly adored yet. There's exactly the right amount of nonchalance, humor and talent here to keep even the casual listener hooked all the way to track twenty.

I am happy to announce that the rhythm sektion now includes the greatness of local rock group Watch Out For Rockets.  The band is the brain child of frontman/songwriter/ga-genius David T. Jones and his Wisconsinonean counterparts Aaron Rimbey and Lucas Urbanski.  Their short but sweet tunes echo the ups and downs of life and paint a beautiful picture, utilizing all the colors of the musical genre rainbow.
Their concept is easily interpreted on record, as you listen to the hiss of the four track you can almost envision Dave sitting in a small room with his guitar, the music spilling out because it simply must, but with the addition of Johnathan Terhaar on drums (which Dave also plays on record) they have been able to take their aerial assault to the stage and are now a force to be reckoned with.  Their live show will leave you with a smile on your face and possibly some stains on your pants, or in your pants, awww dick I don’t know.
Anyways I would like you to check out some of my favorite tunes: The first three are off of their Debut LP Let Me Levitate
This of course is only a sneak peek into the WOFR world because both of their records have 15-20 songs, all of which you can and SHOULD find on their myspace where they can be purchased.  I hope you can enjoy their music as much as I and many others do, if you see that they are playing live you should go, or I will kill the rest of the pandas.

"(Band to) Watch Out For Rockets - Seriously."


(Band to) Watch Out For Rockets - Seriously.

Watch Out For Rockets kind of sounds like the name of some crappy “emo pop” band, like “Eye Alaska” or “We The Kings” – while I dono about their name, one thing’s for sure – they are not a crappy emo pop band. WOFR falls into that vein of stuff that’s awesome but that I have yet to perfectly describe. This band (somehow) aligns with the likes of Port O’Brien or Aunt Dracula, but at the same time they sound like Superdrag and the Beach Boys, or the Byrds or something. I really kinda dig it. Unfortunately the band hails from Austin so I probably won’t get to see ‘em anytime soon, and parts of this recording don’t sound so hot. If you live anywhere near there you should probably make a point to check ‘em out live and then tell me if they’re as good as I think they’d be. - Fantastic Weapon

So if you like what you hear, please support the artists!

The music is a brilliant mix of lo-fi punk rock and freak-pop with great melodies, dirty and direct sound and lots of energy! Most of the songs are rather short (Did I hear somebody say GUIDED BY VOICES?...).
Enjoy!

"heart poppers"

watch-out-for-rocketsSomewhere between the Thermals and Spoon rests Watch out for Rockets and their latest (and second) record Beasts With Hearts of Gold. The internet implies that they have more great music on the way and if it is anything at all like the solid garagey rock and/or roll that is on this self-released 20-song album, the public will most likely freak out when it drops. WOFR are yet another band from Austin that are exceptionally enjoyable despite having a longer than normal name.

Catch them May 1st at Mohawk w/ Rooftop Vigilantes all the way from Lawrence, KS and Real Book Fake Book all the way from here in Austin. Pick up Beasts with Hearts of Gold from a record store in Austin or digitally on iTunes.

"Sometimes Less Is More"

Happy Vernal Equinox! It's a beautiful day here in southern PA, a great day to clean the house (I know, right?), ride your bike or get out in the garden.

Whilst you participate in your activity of choice, you should listen to this. There's a raw energy to Austin-based Watch Out for Rockets that really gets me going, especially on a sunny, warm day like today. It's fun, lo-fi DIY to the max and it's all the better for it. It's a perfect example of "less is more," in both song-length--most tracks are under 3:00, some under 1:00--and also in the production sense.

These songs are off their second album, which they recorded on a 4-track cassette in their living room. It's very much what-you-hear-is-what-you-get. They're in the studio now, which they're excited about (according to their blog) and the next album is called Shaman Shit. I'm not sure when it's set to be released, but it will be interesting to hear the difference between their home production and the studio one.

Watch Out for Rockets-- [listen] "A Lotus Yet" mp3 off Beasts With Hearts of Gold (buy--itunes)

Watch Out for Rockets-- [listen] "Heart Poppers" mp3 off Beasts With Hearts of Gold

Here's the funny thing. I can't figure out how I came across these guys. I have their album in my itunes yet I can't for the life of me remember how I got it. If anyone can help me out here, I'd really appreciate it. In the meantime, enjoy! - lost in your inbox


"Watch Out For Rockets - Beast With Hearts of Gold (2009) - A Brief Evaluation"

When you have a 42 minute CD teaming with a 20-song tracklisting, boasting such absurd and surreal titles as "Urgent Serpent Merchant," and "Erect Sun Cranes," you just know that Robert Pollard has left a profound impression on the architects of the music within. It so happens I came to this conclusion before hearing one iota of Watch Out for Rockets' Beasts With Hearts of Gold. Although my suspicions were somewhat confirmed (to my satisfaction I might add) I soon discovered that this Austin quartet didn't necessarily worship at the GBV alter as much as I convinced myself at first blush.

A lo-fi to mid-fi, 4-track aesthetic dominates here, which in itself is a glaring similarity to Mr. Pollard and Co., but what sets WOFR apart is the exuberance and experimental inclination that gradually diminished up until the 2005 departure of that iconic, aforementioned group. The fervored "Buckle Your Hair" and "A Lotus Yet" are perhaps the most indicative examples of this, but the more docile "Class Action Pantsuit," and "Headrush Hour" lend a hook-savviness that's equally appreciated. This album also bears a roughhewn resemblance to those early Sebadoh albums and Centro-matic's oft overlooked debut, Redo the Stacks. The keyboards that percolate intermittently are a thoughtful inclusion, but not particularly useful. Beasts does amble occasionally, but then again so did Bee Thousand and Sebadoh III. As for some of it's more brilliant moments, you can check out a few of them by clicking the link below, and/or by visiting WOFR's Myspace page linked above with several additional songs streaming. These guys are also blog-ified. - Wilfully Obscure


"Sound Off: Watch Out For Rockets"

Watch Out For Rockets was largely just an epic recording project masterminded by David Jones, best represented by the release of last year’s official debut, Let Me Levitate, but this year the band has formed into a proper quartet and begun emerging on local stages. With the recent release of their sophomore album, Beasts With Hearts of Gold, WOFR unloads an epic twenty song disc that spans the spectrum from light, lo-fi indie pop, to blistering guitar and Guided By Voices-styled rockers, to dark and throbbing dance-punk beats. While the band determinedly maintains their 4 track aesthetic, live they are an explosion of unexpected and relentless energy. You can brave the Rocket launch this Saturday, June 13 at the Beauty Bar as they share the stage with Arizona’s Holy Rolling Empire and local mashup king Car Stereo (Wars).

Profile: Watch Out For Rockets

Year Formed:
We have been calling ourselves a band since 2003, but we didn’t actually do anything until 2007. That’s when we decided to put an album together. We are lazy.

Members/Instruments played:
On the album David plays the majority of the instruments, but now that we play live it is as follows:
Jonathan Terhaar - drums
Aaron Rimbey - guitar
Lucas Urbanski - bass
David T. Jones - guitar, vocals

Former Bands/Side Projects:
We have a side project called “Big Girl”, which so far consists of just drinking and laughing.

Albums:
Let Me Levitate (Sept. 2008)
Beasts With Hearts Of Gold (April 2009)

Influences:
Sebadoh, Guided By Voices, The Flaming Lips, The Kinks, Fugazi, David Bowie, T. Rex, etc…

Strangest comment or comparison ever made about your music:
Some girl compared us to Alex Chilton/Big Star

Favorite local bands:
Zest Of Yore, Follow That Bird

Favorite local venue:
Mohawk

Upcoming shows scheduled:
In town we are playing Saturday, June 13th at the Beauty Bar

Shows over the next month that you’re excited to see:
We usually just regret missing shows after they’ve happened.

Some of your favorite albums from the past year:
Zest of Yore’s Quality Of Life, Chain and The Gang’s Down With Liberty….Up With Chains!, The Entrance Band’s Prayer of Death

Ideal band (past or present) to open for on a national tour:
Cheap Trick

Austin Sound questions:
Y’all have released 37 songs on only two albums in the past year. Where do y’all find that much songwriting inspiration?
Honestly, it’s just boredom and the urge to create something.

We’ve been watching out for rockets, but what do we do if we see one?
Give it hugs and drugs.

Song Introduction:
The first song is called “Lift Off Cloud Controller.” It’s just something we came up with and recorded real quick. It’s kind of like if Fugazi and Guided By Voices had a baby, then trained the baby to be an astronaut.

The next song is “Urgent Serpent Merchant.” It’s kind of about finding yourself cut off from the rest of humanity. Sometimes you’re King Shit, and sometimes you are just a hermit that smells like shit.
Both of these songs are on Beasts With Hearts Of Gold

Sound Off:
We just want to put forth our ideas about music. We like the aesthetic of being able to just be in the kitchen or living room and pressing the record button. Using a 4 track allows us to not even have to worry about sonic correctness; it’s gonna sound pretty shitty no matter what. You just go with it, hoping something good comes out. Also, making up songs on the spot and then recording them ensures that you won’t over think it, and the results can be pretty interesting. Doing it that way allows the song to be in the driver’s seat.

Bio

Watch Out For Rockets is an Austin band.  Formed primarily to serve as a clearing house for an ever expanding catalog of short, schizophrenic pop nugget recordings, they quickly became a real band, performing live, making t shirts and taking faux-candid pictures of themselves in various environments.

The Watch Out For Rockets aesthetic was born out of necessity rather than conscious intent.  Primary songwriter and instrumentalist David T. Jones' ever-dwindling attention span and ever expanding musical curiosity have found the perfect medium in 4-track cassette recording.  Since 2008 WOFR has released two full length albums, 2008's Let Me Levitate, and 2009's Beasts With Hearts of Gold.  In June of 2010 WOFR released Shaman Shit, a free online EP. They are currently working on their third full length.
