I had always regarded the Rocket Room as a place for aging rockers and extras
out of Wayne's World. In a sense I was half right, but through the inviting
front doors,ugg
classic mini chestnut, I found something more than that.?br
/> Originally I wasn't going to visit Rocket Room, but a co-worker
persuaded me to come and watch her friend's band, which were part of the usual
Friday new rock line-up list. When I arrived, I was greeted by friendly door
girls and charged the ever present $10 door fee. Stamped and ready to go, I
walked into the small club and was greeted by dim red-tinted views and eardrum
blowing music coming from the stage upfront. I made my way to the bar to grab a
drink and was greeted by bartenders who were attentive, but certainly didn't do
their work with a smile. Strangely enough,UGG Nightfall,
they don't serve Coronas but a pint of tap beer will only set you back
$8.50.
Open Wednesday, Fridays, Saturdays and the first Thursday of every
month, Rocket Room is known as the place for hard rock and to my surprise,
Australian hip-hop. Hosting not only local but recognized international acts, it
caters to not only the formerly mentioned aging rockers and Wayne's World
rejects but also indie types and arts students engaged in photography and music
degrees. With Wildboyz playing on the TVs and signs asking for No Dickheads or
chewing gum,uggs clearance, it is
definitely not the place for 18-year-olds looking to hit the dance floor.?br
/> My tips for going here are minimal but essential. If you're not good
with loud noises, take earplugs because it is extremely loud during sets. Also,
when watching bands, opt to stand close to the stage. I was sitting in the
booths up the back and found that the allocation of the bar in the middle of the
club blocked a lot of the sound of the bands and spoiled the acoustics for
us.?br /> I repeat once again, Rocket Room is not for the faint hearted.
Its goal is to cater to the rockers at heart and it does that while oozing
style. The crowds it caters to are a small but dedicated bunch here in Perth,
but I think that adds to it in the fact that you actually have space to breathe.
All in all,uggs classic
cardy, Rocket Room is a good place to let out your inner rocker and
head-bang the night away. |
