Society of Rockets Tickets

Society of Rockets is a San Francisco-born artist collective renowned for its evolving sound, from lush psychedelic pop to leaner, horn-driven and country-leaning textures. Emerging in the 1990s as Shimmer Kids Underpop Association and rebranding around 2003, this project has quietly built a dedicated following through thoughtful studio work and rare live appearances. Fans know them for meticulous production, evocative storytelling, and a reluctance to tour heavy, preferring focused studio albums and selective performances.

From early landmark releases on Underpop Records, Sunset Homes (2004) and Where the Grass Grows Black (2005), to later explorations in Our Paths Related (2007), Future Factory (2010), and Populuxe (2016), the band has maintained a distinctive voice that critics have tracked across eras. The discography continues to expand with Unearthed (2022) and Tough Trip Through Paradise (2024), alongside singles like Doors Are Opening.
