Jason Narducy (Verbow), 2: Rockets Over Sweden

Not sure about this video, but I'm VERY sure about the song:

It helps to turn it WAY up:)

When I wrote about Verbow June 9, I mentioned this "other" group that Jason Narducy led after Verbow split up. Since then, I've listened over and over, with ever-growing pleasure, to the one recording issued by that group, Rockets Over Sweden. That six-song ep, "Penny Coliseum", may be a little hard to find, but trust me, IT'S WORTH THE EFFORT. It may have the most straight-up rock songs that Jason Narducy ever writes, and wow is he good at those.

Based on this excellent article published after Verbow's reunion show, it doesn't sound like we'll ever hear any more from Rockets Over Sweden:

but you can see one fairly sketchy live video on YouTube:

and I hope you'll check out "Penny Coliseum" sometime. Those songs are worth some trouble to find!
