ROCKET MEN

There's some Space between Pink Floyd and Meute: for the magnificent, danceable sounds of Rocket Men. The five band members belong to the jazz and pop scenes of Hamburg, Berlin and Leipzig respectively - and fuse the best of both worlds in their unique fusion. Cinematic synth sounds meet rocking drum grooves and the boisterously driving brass lines of trumpet and saxophone. "The Orbiter Sessions", the new Rocket Men album, will be released this year - but the quintet will only reveal its funky power live. The quintet call their self-created genre "Drum and Space". It could contain dub, brass band rhythms and jazz improvisations, as well as lush techno beats. This journey into outer space will not be without severe vibrations.
