Rockets Burst from the Streetlamps: Rockets Burst from the Streetlamps are best contacted through Archenemy. Email us for more info.

The Elevator Drops: The Elevator Drops is no longer a band. However, Archenemy is proud to be in the process of releasing their previously unreleased back catalog. The Band maintains their own website, as do Garvy J and The Texas Governor, both formerly of the Drops.

Alumni + Friends

Rock Stone: This former Archenemy partner and member of Rockets Burst from the Streetlamps and Lifestyle has gone solo. You can find info on him here.

Val Webb: This former member of Rockets Burst from the Streetlamps is now part of Astral Blessing and Sunburned Hand of the Man. See below.

Annie Smidt: This former member of Rockets Burst from the Streetlamps runs a design studio.

Ghosts from Sweeden: Ghosts From Sweeden are currently serving jail time in Malmö, Sweden, due to a ruckus involving damage to Swedish Government property, when two of the members were caught waging psychic warfare against each other from neighboring castles. We're hoping they will make amends -- as well as psychic peace -- soon, so we can get them back over to the states. We're also hoping to put out their lost masterpiece "Ghosts" soon, but apparently the Swedish Government has some say in this during their incarceration. No wonder there's no Swedish Tupac.

Garvey J: This former member of the Elevator Drops played with the Rentals and Matt Sharp but is now back in Boston doing a solo album. News to be found here.
