Comprised of six Abilene Christian University students -- four alumni, two current -- the Rocketboys have steadily grown their fan base over the past several years, playing concerts both around town and the country.

The Rocketboys will play at 11:45 a.m. on the Dell Stage on Friday at Zilker Park. They'll also play at 9:45 p.m. Friday at the Dell Lounge After Party at The Mohawk, and again at 9:15 p.m. Saturday at Club Deville. If you're heading to ACL, be sure to stop by and show your support!

The official release party for the band's new EP, "Sing, Bird, Sing," will be 7 p.m. Sept. 27 at The GlassJar Studio, 233 Cypress, Abilene. For more information, check out the band's Myspace. com page at www.myspace.com/rocketboys.
