Rooster
UK rock band formed in 2002 by Nick Atkinson (vocals), Luke Potashnick (guitar), Dave Neale (drums) and Ben Smyth (bass). Atkinson and Potashnick were former school friends who reunited while living in London, after both admitted they were struggling to make an impact with their respective bands. They formed Rooster with Neale and Smyth and, after only a few live shows, were signed to the new BMG affiliate label Brightside. The band's self-styled "griff rock" combined hard rock with pop but was marketed primarily at the UK teen rock market recently cornered by Busted and McFly. Rooster's debut single, "Come Get Some", reached the UK Top 10 in November. The quartet received plenty of publicity when they became the first band to broadcast a concert live by mobile phone, with their gig at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London on 2 November 2004 aired by the 3 mobile network. The quartet's debut album was released the following January.
