Press Reviews …With a sound straight out of a ninth ward garage, this downtown trio offers the retrospective rock of a pre-punk era band, something like the Ventures meets the Sex Pistols with maybe a little New Orleans R&B thrown in for good measure. The Rockett was a certified member of the now-legendary Emperor K-doe court, along with other kitschy outfits from the far side of the Quarter like Quintron, the Rubber-maids, and Egg Yolk Jubilee. With a rubber-armed chick drummer banging out the beat and the band’s loud guitar crunch and disturbingly raw bass lines, it’s sure to make for an unapologetic performance that even the straightest arrows in town can get kooky with. Don’t show up too early- the Rockett heats up late night.-Gambit Weekly’s Hot Seven
