Rocket started in 2021, in an unmarked 8’ x 11’ practice space in Los Angeles, California. You wouldn’t know it walking past, but inside was the beginning of something special. The four members of the band, Alithea Tuttle (Bass, Vocals), Baron Rinzler (Guitar), Cooper Ladomade (Drums) and Desi Scaglione (Guitar) had all known each other for a very long time. Alithea and Cooper went to preschool together and the pair met Desi and Baron in high school. Having all grown up in Los Angeles, the four were exposed to the city’s musical influences at a very young age. Going to shows, record shopping and having a deep appreciation for the Los Angeles music scene were all a prerequisite for being a part of the community. Each member had their own unique taste but they bonded over a shared love for noise in bands like Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine and Dinosaur Jr. while also having an affinity for the ethereal and picturesque in bands like The Flaming Lips, Yo La Tengo and Radiohead.
