This group is dedicated to the wonderful fans of the one and only ska/metal band, known to many as Rooster Cruiser.
Rooster Cruiser being around for only a year, and having only played one show, have already established a quality fan base, a fan base of which have been dubbed the Rooster Boosters.
But what IS a Rooster Booster?
If you do not know what a Rooster Booster is, then to be honest you, you do not belong here, but for those who do not know, and wish to someday be apart of this Rooster Society, as some may call it, I will go on to explain the legacy of the Rooster Booster.
The fan base known as the Rooster Boosters started off as quite the elite group. As Rooster Cruiser began their career the Rooster Boosters were kept to only the close friends of Rooster Cruiser, thus keeping the number of Rooster Boosters small, but the choice of keeping the Rooster Boosters to an elite crowd only, was definitely not a bad choice. Not by any means.
The original Rooster Boosters consisted of RB Vinny, Champurado Baby, and TheDarkLawnGnome. Yes, 3 Rooster Boosters is all it took to help out Rooster Cruiser with their love and support, and turn them into the local phenomenon they are today. Over time as Rooster Cruiser got better and better they allowed the group to expand further. Additions of Pobs and Swae Loks to the Rooster Boosters helped tremendously in the making of Rooster Cruiser.
Many people ask, “But how could 5 fans possibly help out a band so much?†it’s a fairly simple question to answer. RB Vinny sleeps with Rooster Eric and Jake on countless occasions, hell… the man sleeps with them every night . Champurado Baby? The man helped out Rooster Cruiser with many, many things involving graphics and Myspace. The man is expected to be designing a website for Rooster Cruiser in the very near future. Pobs provided Rooster Cruiser with plenty of helpful input towards the band and is rumored to be the father of one of the members. I, however am not allowed to give any ideas as to who it may be, or to claim it true or false. Swae Loks despite never attending a practice has provided Rooster Jake with plenty of security and is often referred to as Rooster Cruiser’s very own Security Man.
As for TheDarkLawnGnome? Well, after months of being a Rooster Booster, the man decided to actually join the band, and being the classically trained, power metalist that he is, Rooster Cruiser accepted him with open arms in hopes of he and Rooster Jake providing perfect shred harmonies for Rooster Cruiser, TheDarkLawnGnome did not disappoint, and with the addition Rooster Cruiser was ready for the big time.
There you have the raw foundation of how the Rooster Boosters began…
But how did they grow so big? :O
It all took place one Saturday morning; RB Vinny had a basketball game, attending this game were: Rooster Jake, Rooster Eric, Rooster Royal, Champurado Baby, and Pobs. After the game the men feasted like kings, and decided to go catch a free ska show with a band widely known as “Upground†at the Roosevelt Book Fair. A call to TheDarkLawnGnome was made, and they were on their way.
This day proved to be amongst the most important days in the career of Rooster Cruiser, and the Rooster Boosters. By the time the men had gotten there, sadly the show had ended. The Rooster’s were greatly disappointed, but decided that if they couldn’t see the show, at least they can talk to the band. This proved to be quite possibly one of the most important decisions they have made in their lives. Here is where Rooster Cruiser met one of the most important Rooster Booster they have.
The man I speak of is the lead singer of Upground, Danny. To put it in simple terms, without Danny and the rest of Upground, Rooster Cruiser would have nowhere near the amount of Rooster Booster’s they have now.
Not even close. Upground being the immensely popular band that they are in Los Angeles, had the generosity to give Rooster Cruiser the opportunity to play with them, and for that this comes deeply from both Rooster Cruiser and all the Rooster Boosters.
Thank You, Upground.
With the show soon the boys of Rooster Cruiser and the Rooster Boosters gave it their best shot to advertise the show as much as possible. The show was probably going to be the biggest they will have for a long time, so the Rooster Boosters advertised, and helped out Rooster Cruiser as much as they could to help them prepare for the big night, as it did indeed promise to be a very big night for them. The Rooster Boosters pitched out ideas on what they should play, new material, new covers, work entirely on the old material… both groups were hard at work. They both wanted this night. They both needed this night.
Sadly as the show drew nearer they were not able to accomplish what they had wanted, but when the night finally came…
…what a night it was. What a turn out. As the Rooster’s looked at the crowd they saw a good 200 potential Rooster Booster’s in the crowd, the Rooster Booster’s already knew that Rooster Cruiser would gain some new fans, and with new fans add new members to the Rooster Boosters… But Rooster Cruiser was not so sure about, however they had agreed that as they are not completely ska, they would be happy if they had only made 1 new fan at the show.
Rooster Cruiser played nicely as expected by the Rooster Boosters, and with their performance the fans came pouring in. The elite core of the Rooster Boosters still remains, however after Adolfest 2005, there are plenty of new Rooster Boosters, and I am sure that Rooster Cruiser will definitely have many more joining the Rooster Society in the very near future.
…And there you have it, the legacy of the Rooster Boosters.
