Rod Sermon RocketBand/artist history
The music was created for children and was an adaptation from "the lads" composing beer drinking songs. We could see that the Wiggles (a kids band in Australia) were getting very popular and seeing that we all had young children ourselves thought that we too could become very famous HA HA! So we changed the lyrics and produced a rough CD for the purpose of mailing out to music publishers around the globe to try to get some interest in the project.Have you performed in front of an audience?We no longer play live but have performed at schools etc.
Your musical influences
All sorts of adult music like rock, blues, contry, balard etc with choldrens lyrics. It is our view to make every song different so that there is not only 1 flavour to the music.What equipment do you use?
Guitar, Harmonica, Didgeridoo, percussion.Anything else?
We would like to thank the following people.
Our wives and families for being so patient and understanding while this project was being undertaken. Without there support it would never have got off the ground.
Principals, teachers, students and parents from, Our Lady of Grace School, St Marys Anglican Girls School & Hampton Park Primary School. Children from these schools were involved in the covers and background designs for the compact disc. Denim French, designer of the front cover.
Andy Priest at Paramount Media, whose vast knowledge in sound recording, graphic design and all the other facets involved in a total production, proved to be invaluable.
The West Australian Music Association for assisting with research information.
The friends we have, both at home and from Varanus Island, who have had to endure many hours of listening to our music and our blatant disregard for their sanity. We sincerely thank you for your critical comments, ideas and suggestions over the two years of song creation.
Gerry Brennan for his way with words and lyrics for Normie the Numbat
