Stellar superstars RACKETT have released their new single ‘Space Cadet’; a rocketing psych-jam introducing their new extraterrestrial friend Steve the alien. To celebrate the release of ‘Space Cadet’; RACKETT and Steve will be hitting the great road in the sky to play fourteen shows through June and July with dates in Western Australia, Queensland, Victoria and New South Wales.
The band first met their outer-space compatriot after being saved from certain death by his accidental intervention and together the new crew wrote this slamming single.
“‘Space Cadet’ is an ode to our friend Steve; whom we met when we landed on the roof of his spacecraft after unintentionally rescuing us from our plummeting deaths,” said vocalist Rebecca Callander. “We wrote ‘Space Cadet’ with Steve while we were on his spacecraft after too many lucid cocktails and plasma dust,” said bassist, Ally Gaven.
RACKETT really harnessed Steve’s incredible cosmological styles and talents to put together new music that is truly out of this world! “I warmed to Steve pretty quickly, he has incredible taste for high quality audio gear and he plays a monster triangle,” said drummer, Astrid Holz. “It’s an epic wall of guitar-filled psych-pop, inspired completely by our experience with our alien friend. Steve loves ridiculous guitar solos, I’ll never forget his response after writing this ripper riff!” said guitarist, Kat Ayala.
