About Rockets
The story of the Rockets begins in Paris (France), in 1972, when they were known as Crystal. In 1974, they changed their name to **Rocket Men** (or **The Rocketters**) as five bald extraterrestrials with gray eyes, silver skin, and wearing space suits, recording the single "Rocket Man" produced by [[artist:Claude Lemoine]], who would remain their producer until 1983.
In 1975, they changed their name to **Rockets** and recorded the single "Future Woman". In 1976, their first LP, "Rockets", was released in France, and the band launched a series of phantasmagorical live shows which involved vocoder, lasers, colored lights, smoke and a 10-foot-long bazooka fighting flames. Their next LP "On the road again" (1978), was released in a large number of countries. The American release was made under the [[label:Tom N' Jerry Records]] label.
