The Snotrockets are an American punk rock band based in South Florida.
History
Started in mid 2012 in Pompano Beach, Florida by former Misfits drummer Joey Image, the band started as an experiment when 15-year-old guitarist, Zeke Navarro, met Image through his father. They started to play cover songs they both knew by The Ramones, The Misfits, and Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers. Navarro invited his uncle, Dan Harari, to play bass with them. Not being able to play regularly, Harari was replaced by Barry Apfel, a bass player associated with The Waldos and Dee Dee Ramone. Within 4 months of adding Apfel, they performed their first show on February 1, 2014, at a Misfits tribute at the Monterey club in Fort Lauderdale, known as the Joey Image Trio, with Image on drums, Apfel on bass, and Navarro on guitar and vocals. Apfel left the band in late 2014. Around February 2015, bassist, Jon Klein joined the band. They quickly changed the name to "The Snotrockets".
