Rocket Star Cafe

Rocket Star Cafe Rocketstar is dead. Long live Rocketstar. Rocketstar was a coffee house. It had a pool table, old couches, video games, and smoking in the back.

There was a makeout closet, a Twin Peaks dream room, and some sweet barstools. Your friends were there sometimes. Sometimes you just hung out. Some awesome bands played at Rocketstar through the years, including:
Saturday looks Good to me, PAS/CAL, Damien Jurado, Bear vs. Shark, M Sord, Thunder Birds Are Now!, Chiodos, Anathallo, Japanther, Nomo, The Death Set, Meneguar, Books on Tape, Captain Aha

b, Matt & Kim, Matty Popchart, Erin Toby, The Good Good, OCDJ, Videohippos, Dan Deacon, Ghost Mice, Paul Baribeau, Sah, Team Robespierre, Roxy Pain, Charlie Slick, Narwhalz, Deastro, Peter and the Wolf

Everyone is wearing bandanas again 24/7.
Next they’ll be adding AA hoodies and start rolling their own cigs...
