Rocket Transfer
Interview / Songs
This was my daughter Lemmy’s first Scented Vinyl Session, I was pretty excited to have her up at Mars with
me; she and my son were both dressed in custom Scented Vinyl t-shirts, it was great!  Its always fun having
kids up at the show, or even in the studio while we record.  There was no shortage this week with Rocket
Transfer, but there could have been plenty more as this week’s show featured 4 fathers.

Before the show, the only thing I knew about Rocket Transfer was that their name is printed in giant letters
on an abandoned building downtown, which is where they rehearse.  The band self released they’re debut ep
last year, and are looking to get started on a full length.  Rocket Transfer offers a mission statement that
stands out amongst other Des Moines bands…

”Rocket Transfer is driven to passionately pursue lives that leave a positive impression on the world.  Our
heartfelt desire is to express a vibrant and life-tested faith through honest lyrics and melodies which please the
heart and awaken and compel the hearts of people.”  We talk all about it during the interview…

The music of the night was up to me, as the member of the band with the most albums was out having fun in
Colorado.  I had some new ones to show off, so I was happy to do so…here is what we played…

Velvet Underground with Nico
