sad rockets is andrew pekler, a 20 something, uzbekistan-born,
californian-raised and heidelberg-residing multi-instrumentalist.
his first 2 albums of sad rockets instrumental music, available on
the morbid and source labels, are a whirlwind trip through
andrew's bedroom studio, a place where soundtracky noir styles,
sideways r&b, appropriate nods to jazz, soul, punk, beats lost &
found, suave romantic moments, high comedy (in low places) and way
too much style somehow all fit onto 4 tracks. none of that
laptop/desktop shit either, this is all for real, recorded by a
real guy with real instruments in a real way. ok, he used
electricity. and these words were composed on a computer. also, i
went to a starbucks about a week ago, but it was just to get
change for the parking meters.
in short, with 4 tracks and no moolah, sad rockets creates more
atmosphere and genuine drama than the new david holmes album and
larry holmes' right hand combined. and don't get me started on
rupert holmes. his records are thrilling, funny and they work
equally well at lease-wrecking volume or at a level commensurate
with other activities (preparing sturgeon, exploratory surgery,
purchasing a planetarium, etc.). that's sad rockets, not rupert
holmes.
in addition to his sad rockets career, andrew is a member of
bergheim 34, a "post-everything" electronic group, millions of
miles removed from sad rockets. even further, andrew is also the
vocalist for the very amazing & dangerous mucus 2, a group who
most assuredly put the ampersand in rock & roll.
