Rockets is a French space rock band that formed in Paris in 1974 and relocated to Italy in 1978. Some of the former members had played together since 1970 in a local band called Crystal. In their most successful era (1977–1982) the line-up comprised vocalist Christian Le Bartz, bassist and vocalist "Little" Gérard L'Her, guitarist and keyboardist Alain Maratrat, drummer and percussionist Alain Groetzinger, and keyboardist Fabrice Quagliotti. The band went through a number of name changes, being known as the Rocket Men and Rok-Etz, among others. In the year 2000, Fabrice Quagliotti decided to reform the band (initially with the name Rockets N.D.P.), but with a totally different line-up. This brought to an anomalous situation, as far as none of the former members agreed to hold a reunion. In

  • ロケッツ(ROCKETS)はフランスのスペース・ロックバンド。 (ja)
  • I Rockets sono un gruppo musicale francese che ottenne il maggior successo in Italia a cavallo tra la fine degli anni settanta e i primi anni ottanta con brani quali Future Woman, Space Rock, One More Mission, Electric Delight e soprattutto la reinterpretazione di On the Road Again, ancor oggi trasmesso per radio, e Galactica, vero e proprio tormentone del 1980 che ha permesso loro di vincere il Telegatto come miglior gruppo straniero in Italia. Il loro genere iniziale era rock, definito subito dalla stampa "space-rock" per le venature fantascientifiche dei testi, per le sonorità elettroniche e per l'aspetto scenico. Più avanti venne invece associato alla disco, e infine al pop elettronico (synthpop), anche se in quest'ultimo caso probabilmente a torto. (it)
  • Rockets is een Franse band die muziek maakt in het genre spacerock. Ze waren vooral bekend in de jaren zeventig en tachtig en dan met name in Italië. Voor hun verdienste kregen zij de Italiaanse . Fabrice Quagliotti en Alain Maratrat richtten de groep in 1972 op onder de naam Crystal. Later werd dit Rocket Men, Rocketters en ten slotte The Rockets. Hun eerste album, Rockets, kwam in 1976 alleen in Frankrijk uit. De groep onderscheidt zich door in aluminium pakken op te treden, hun hoofden kaal te scheren en hun gezichten zilver te schilderen. Hierdoor lijkt het alsof ze helemaal van metaal zijn. Ook worden hun stemmen vervormd door middel van een Vocoder. Hierdoor klinken hun stemmen als die van robots. Verder zijn er tijdens zo'n show altijd special effects te zien, zoals lasers, laag overscherende vliegende schotels, rookwolken en zelfs explosies. Door al deze effecten wordt de band nog weleens in verband gebracht met de Duitse band Kraftwerk. Eind jaren 80 verlieten steeds meer leden de band en in 1992 werd de band opgeheven. In 2000 kwam de groep weer bij elkaar en is sindsdien nog steeds actief. (nl)
