ROCKETSHIP / TRACE
split 2 CD/LP e.p.
- ROCKETSHIP was formed in the early 90's in Sacramento, California by
Dusty Reske. Working with many other musicians, including members of
Henry's Dress, Aislers Set, Trace, Electro Group, and Holiday Flyer,
among others, Rocketship burst onto the scene with their near legendary
“Hey Hey Girl” single on Bus Stop records, and followed it with the
highly acclaimed “A Certain Smile, A Certain Sadness” on Slumberland
Records in 1996. The initial 60’s styled pop layered in whirling analog
organs and bright guitars have merged with Dustin’s continuous
experimentation with electronics and production to create the wonderful
amalgamation of styles featured on this release.
- TRACE have existed for nearly a decade as an on going recording
project between 4 long time Sacramento collective, including Tim
Jacobson from the revered noise poppers Electro Group, Over the years
the band became more and more reclusive, stopped playing live almost
entirely, but continued to record an immense catalog of songs, refining
their sound with fuzz guitar, buzzing analog synths and bright pop
hooks. Briefly backed Dustin to record a series of singles and
compilation tracks (see Henry's Dress/Rocketship split 7 inch on
Slumberland).
... will be released officially on Sept. 16th, but you can order it now

::NEWS::
GARY YOUNG'S HOSPITAL, the ongoing project by legendary Pavement
drummer and engineer Gary Young, will be releasing "The Grey Album"
(omni042) on Nov. 18th as a long overdue followup to his first solo
album "Hospital" (Big Cat Records) which landed him a cult following
and an Mtv video for "Plantman" (featuring Thurston Moore as a dancing
tree and Gary wearing an astro-turf suit). Rumor has it he and his
band will be playing dates with comrades Grandaddy and Sonic Youth
(Gary has also enlisted the help of Electro Group to cover SY's "100%"
