Rockets Red Glare was a Canadian alternative rock band from Toronto, active in the early 2000s. [1]
Rockets Red Glare formed in the winter of 1999 following the demise of hardcore band Blake and instrumental trio Blue Light Blockade. They released their self-titled debut album in 2002. [2]
The band's second album, Moonlight Desires, was released in 2003. [3] The album appeared on the !earshot National Top 50 chart in August 2003. [4] That year Rockets Red Glare disbanded; members went on to join Sea Snakes (Strachan), Burn Rome in a Dream (Clarke), Jim Guthrie (Clarke), and Picastro (Clarke). In late 2004, Strachan and drummer David "Gus" Weinkauf formed Feuermusik, a free jazz duo with Strachan on saxophone and Weinkauf playing percussion on buckets. [5]
