Rocketship (band)

Rocketship is an indie rock band formed in Sacramento, California in 1993. Led by singer-songwriter and guitarist Dustin Reske with bassist Vera Brock, keyboardist Heidi Barney and drummer Jim Rivas, the group released the single "Hey Hey Girl" in 1994 and the album "A Certain Smile, A Certain Sadness" in 1996. After the album's release, the original line-up dissolved and Reske continued Rocketship essentially as a solo project, releasing the single "Honey, I Need You" in 1997 and the albums "Garden of Delights" in 1999 and "Here Comes... Rocketship" in 2006.

Rocketship's sound can be described as '60s-style pop characterized by ringing guitars and droning organs, although, as a solo project, Reske has taken the sound in an ambient direction.
