Biography

Not to be confused with San Diego-based alternarockers Rocket from the Crypt, Rocket from the Tombs was a mid-'70s Cleveland ur-punk outfit best known as the band that split into two better-known Cleveland punk bands, Pere Ubu and the Dead Boys. Rocket was formed by a reporter for the weekly Cleveland entertainment newspaper The Scene who went by the name of Crocus Behemoth. A portly man with a mound of wild hair, Behemoth had the perfect name, and a reputation as a wild, completely unpredictable stage performer, which in the early days of the group consisted of wrapping his considerable girth in aluminum foil, wearing Kiss-style makeup, and spray-painting his hair.
