"Come and Fly" Skyrocket! You know and love them as K-Tel Hit Machine but it is a new year and time for some chchchanges...

Skyrocket! (formerly K-TEL HIT MACHINE) plays 1970s solid-gold favorites, mixed with a few edgy album rock hits from the 80's. This seven-piece band (see below) takes its original name from the series of "super hits" compilation albums advertised on TV in the 70's, and much of the band's repertoire appeared on those records. If you're thinking "classic rock", think again. Skyrocket! steers virtually clear of typical rock and dance standards driven into the ground by radio and karaoke, and breathes new life into old hits that made you smirk back then and make you howl today.

THE KTEL HIT MACHINE started in 2001, when a handful of local Austin, TX rock stars got together to geek out. Turns out they'd all cut their teeth on '70s music, not just the great rock stuff but the funny solid-gold stuff, too – disco, glam rock, soft rock and soul one-hit wonders. Before long, other musicians were begging to be in the band, swearing that they too could play and sing just like the original artists. And they do! Skyrocket! as we know it today was born featuring TRISH MURPHY - vocals, guitar BENJAMIN HOTCHKISS - vocals, conga, glockenspiel JOHNNY GOUDIE - keyboards, guitar, vocals KYLE CRUSHAM - guitar, keyboards PAUL ENGLISH - guitar, vocals MIKE BELILE - bass DARIN MURPHY - drums, vocals
