Rocketship
Real Name:
Dustin Reske
Profile:
The group first surfaced around 1993 with a lineup featuring singer/songwriter and guitarist Dustin Reske, keyboardist Heidi Barney, bassist Verna Brock and drummer Jim Rivas (of Holiday Flyer). Soon the quartet was charming ears the nation over with their seductive variety of quirky '60s-influenced bedroom pop. What distinguished this group, besides its killer instinct for great melodies, was its incorporation of elements of British shoegazer rock, especially layers of ringing guitars and swirling, pschedelic organ drone.
From 1996 Rocketship is just Dustin Reske writing all the music and lyrics, with the exception of two female friends singing on a couple pieces.
