about

This album is a tribute of sorts to the Rocket Transfer Warehouse, North of Grand's headquarters for a decade. We wrote all our songs there, partied there...and we miss it. A Farewell To Rockets. North of Grand is Sean Wilson (guitar, vocals), Pat Curtis (drums, backing vocals), Dan Ketelsen (bass), Matt Wellendorf (guitar). Guests: Mike Fitzpatrick (lap steel and slide guitar on "Left For Dead"), Jason Beers (lap steel and saw on "Hey Man").
