POISON drummer RIKKI ROCKETT launches new band THE ROCKETT MAFIA

Poison drummer Rikki Rockett has launched his new band, The Rockett Mafia. In addition to Rockett, the lineup includes Brandon Gibbs (Hoekstra/Gibbs; vocals, guitar), Mick Sweda (BulletBoys; guitar, backing vocals), and Bryan Kimes (bass, backing vocals).

Rikki says: “The boys and I have had so much positive feedback on this line-up so far! I feel very blessed. Our agent will have quite a shopping list to work through. Thank you all for all the positive feedback!

“A little bit about us… This little band was formed to have fun re-imagining, for the most part, covers from the 70s, but not the usual lot you might expect. Wait until you hear some of these songs and you’re like, ‘Hey, I know that song! I can’t believe they’re playing that!’ But don’t underestimate original material. Brandon and Mick are both powerhouses.

“This is going to be fun as we slowly start to get this off the ground! From the R-Mob, thank you so much!”
