Gold for Salt - Curly and The Rocket

SHE wrangles a drum set and sings. He's a raucous wildman on the electric guitar. TOGETHER, they rock as CURLY and the ROCKET!

Their love affair was sparked by a calling to play music together. Now, they've unleashed their fervent energy on a full-tilt electric power duo that's seducing even the most cynical music audiences.

Curly is the missus of the team. From her rocker's throne, she wrangles the drum kit like she's riding a bull. But that's only the half of her stunt filled routine; She's also the singer in this act. While her limbs are busy spanking the skins, she's whispering and wailing into a microphone, making the show go like a rodeo announcer.

Then there's The Rocket, the duo's dangerous back end, man with guitar. Simultaneously orchestrating leads, rhythms, even slide solos, he maneuvers his way through a raucous musical carnival ride that tugs between the refined and the raunchy.

The two together create big sound. It's an ambitious, quirky finessing of their American rooted musical inclinations, tooling with southern boogie, fusion, rockabilly, classic rock and vintage blues. A signature of their style is orchestrating reckless thrills by joy riding, then charging suddenly into a dark sharp turn, like a muscle car on a wet country road.

Listeners of their independent debut release, Electricshow, will discover all of the energy and flavor of their live act burnished to a studio polish. They endeavored their first international tour to the UK in 2007, and anticipate dates at US festivals and more overseas opportunities to fill out 2008. Read more on Last.fm.
