The Gallant Knight

SKYROCKET! is perhaps the most wickedly original party band to emerge from any music scene, let alone a city like Austin where original music rules. Two things make

The players:
All of them are recording artists in their own right. Maybe you’ve seen them before, on tour, on TV, or performing around Austin.

The songs:
It all started when this handful of the city’s most successful and well-loved songwriters discovered a common passion for ’70s “solid-gold” music: Disco, glam rock, soft rock and soul one-hit wonders. One forgotten hit led to another, then the ’70s led to the ’80s, and the song list grew, cherry-picked for the ones most likely to get screams of sudden recognition from the audience. Calling themselves The K-TEL Hit Machine, They caught on quickly as one of the freshest, funnest dance bands around. By the end of 2005, they had even charmed city’s impossible-to-charm music critics at the Austin Chronicle’s holiday bash, and the band’s popularity SKYROCKETed from there, hence the name change.
