Bashing out reverb-drenched surf licks with shameless abandon, the debut EP from The Bigfoot Rocketship secures the band a place in Calgary’s canon of retro-inspired instrumentalists. From the slinky riff of “Rusty Nails” to the jaunty Ventures-inspired “Super Stock” to the maxi-Mexi stomp of “Bonus Nachos,” these guys know the genre and how to capitalize on their influences. This tightly wound six-pack owes more to surf’s late-’90s revival than it does to the initial wave from the ’60s, but whether the Rocketship is aping Shadowy Men From a Shadowy Planet or The Pyramids doesn’t change the fact that it has something pretty sweet in the pipeline.
The Bigfoot Rocketship will release its self-titled CD on Friday, May 7 at Broken City with The Bownesians and The Lovebullies.
