Rooney, a five piece British Invasion throwback/'80s pop rock outfit, formed in 1999 and after playing the Sunset Strip clubs and self producing EPs for a couple of years. Then, they made their self titled major label debut and hit the road. Tours with Weezer, The Strokes, Sloan, The Sounds, The Donnas, Travis, Keane and many others led to a turdy following. After thier first record reached nearly gold status and yielded two successful singles, the band retreated to L.A. where, after many hold ups, they recorded "Calling the World" over three weeks time. From there, they toured the world for another year and a half and secured a first number 1 single in Europe. Currently, the band is touring in support of its recently released third album, Eureeka, which brings them to Headliners, 4500 N. Detroit Ave., on Sunday, August 15.
