Rocket Redux (CD)
Collection of 12 new studio recordings with the current lineup. Featuring David Thomas (RFTT, Pere Ubu) on vocals, Cheetah Chrome (RFTT, The Dead Boys) on guitar and vocals, Richard Lloyd (Television) on guitar, Craig Bell (RFTT, Saucers) on bass and vocals, and Steve Mehlman (Pere Ubu) on drums. RFTT originally broke up in 1975 (after being together less than a year), but their popularity continued to grow -- to mammoth proportions. Because of this continued recognition (more than 25 years later!), the band played a concert at UCLA in 2003 ("An explosive, revelatory set," says Los Angeles Times) and continued to tour the rest of the year. As David Fricke, editor of Rolling Stone, wrote: "No one else in American rock, underground or over, in 1974 and '75, was writing and playing songs this hard and graphic about being f**ked over and fighting mad. No one else is doing it now."
