|
'The Rocket Summer' is an alternative rock band from Grapevine, Texas, comprising one man: 'Bryce Avary'.
Starting with local shows as a teenager in the Dallas/Fort Worth, Avary's local fan base grew and he released his first album, in limited release, in 2000. Beginning by distributing his EP personally under the name 'The Rocket Summer' to local stores to be sold on consignment, his music appeared on The Adventure Club segment of the KDGE radio station, and became the most requested local band on the program that year.
With writeups featured in local, national, and international magazines, and copies of his newly re-released EP selling in 5 continents, Avary recorded his new album Calendar Days with a $15,000 budget in Kansas, under The Militia Group label, which was released in 2003. Generally considered an uplifting album, Calendar Days, with a track including a grade 6 girls' choir from Colleyville, Texas, sold extremely well in the United States and Japan.
In November 2004, began working with with producer Tim O'Hier in Brooklyn to record his sophomore LP, "Hello, Good Friend." It was released in May 2005.
Currently, they are headlining the "Around the Clock" national tour, supported by Adam Richman and This Day and Age, and are scheduled for another tour with the recently formed Hellogoodbye.
