A Rocket to the Moon lands in Michigan

Go Radio rocked out with their ear gages. Runner Runner hit on on young girls (so you need to hide yo kids, hide yo wives, and hide yo husbands because Runner Runner is creepin' on eurybody out here), Anarbor head banged with their hippie hair and half shut eyes, Valencia acted somewhat normal and then A Rocket to the Moon serenaded the adoring fans for their first headlining tour,"On Your Side."


A Rocket to the Moon sold out the show in Pontiac, Mich., attracting fans of all ages, skinny jean, converse wearing twelve years old, to crowd surfing drunken college students, to parents lounging in cushioned couches in the back of the Eagle Theatre. Nick Santino and gang were more laid back than headbangers Anarbor, but easily won over their fans by singing 14 of their songs from both their first full length album "On Your Side," to older songs from their EP "Greetings From..."

Nick even gave a special shout out to Pontiac, saying how it was The Eagle Theatre where he and guitarist Justin Richards wrote their hit "Like We Used To" in the parking lot the year before. The song was their first song to play on the radio and the crowd went nuts when they found out the story behind the beloved summer romance song.

Santino demanded that the audience sing louder than him during "Dakota" and his wish was granted. Even after their exited, the crowd chanted "one more song," and just 30 seconds later, Nick, Justin, Andrew, and Eric "The Mouthbreather" came back on stage to sing the fans two more songs, ending their sold out concert with "Mr. Right."

Fans walked away satisfied and still wanting more. But does A Rocket to the Moon ever disappoint? The answer is no. Starting in May, the Rocket crew will launch over across the pound to charm their British fans alongside Mayday Parade, and will go down under capture the hearts of Aussie's, kangaroos, and fans in Indonesia with Hey Monday.
