Overview
Rocket Brothers is a 2003 documentary film directed by photographer Kasper Torsting. It explores the ambitions, anxieties and joys of a creative process in the Danish rock band Kashmir. Torsting followed the band over a period of four years starting just after the success of their album The Good Life. In the documentary we follow the daily lives of the band members and come to witness their struggle against the expectations from both themselves and other people. We see the difficulties in overcoming amongst others writer's block, witness the conflicts amongst the group members and discover the profound respect and love with which they treat each other - all in the process of making the album Zitilites. Besides seeing the band writing the Zitilities album, we also witness their failed break-through in America, and lead singer Kasper Eistrup's audition for Roger Waters Pink Floyd tour. Eistrup auditioned as the lead singer and guitarist.

00:00:31 I haven't written a song in over a year, not one single song.
00:05:06 I can whistle.
00:06:34 - I'd definitely say the white one. - You would?
00:09:12 And we all know it, but no one wants to talk about it.
00:11:45 But we just have to keep going tonight, no matter what -
00:17:04 - so I'm going to do that.
00:20:00 And you see our faces and don't know how we're reacting.
00:23:02 And then finally, Asger had this idea for a strange beat.
00:25:54 - I didn't sound like that. - No, but you pulled the secret out.
00:27:37 - This could be cool. - This could be mother-fucking cool.
00:29:58 We're just looping it at the moment and it feels boring.
00:33:51 You don't have to say "stop that". It seems so aggressive.
00:35:02 Absolutely, but that's what we're doing.
00:37:16 We can make it better.
00:38:36 There's something about it that could be better.
00:43:43 I got a phone call from James Guthrie -
00:45:22 So it wasn't the best time to leave for six months with a different band.
00:49:00 - because my dream isn't to go out and be someone else.
00:53:44 Turn it off.
00:56:04 It disappeared really quick. Saying something funny and then...
00:58:45 It turned out he couldn't.
01:01:29 We need to convince him. He hasn't had the time to hear it.
01:03:32 It's very important that you two communicate well.
01:13:11 Now you can feel that he's not holding back the compliments.
