Rocket Baby Dolls was a concept[1][2] and name Muse used for their first gig, a battle of the bands in their local sports centre, Broadmeadow Sports Centre in Teignmouth.[1][2] The name was used for this gig only.[3]

At the time, the band were liaising with a group of girls who co-wrote their music.[2] These girls dressed the members up and applied makeup,[2] the resulting look of which Matthew Bellamy later described as similar to the Cure.[1][4]

Unlike the bands which Bellamy, Dominic Howard and Christopher Wolstenholme were members of before the Rocket Baby Dolls,[2] in this band the music performed consisted largely of original compositions.[2] Bellamy described it as "experimental" and "noise". Despite their inability to play music, they won the competition.[2]

The name itself came from a Japanese pornographic film.[4] The film is an independent, underground animated porn film or "Hentai". The plot revolves around a group of girls who have supernatural abilities. The girls use these abilities to combat evil monsters attacking Tokyo. However, instead instead of fighting conventionally the girls "love" the monsters to death.[5]
