'''Rocket Baby Dolls''' was a concept<ref name="k2005">{{cite/Kerrang 2005}}</ref><ref name="id">{{cite/intdisc2001}}</ref> and name Muse used for [[Teignmouth Broadmeadow Sports Centre 1994 (gig) | their first gig, a battle of the bands]] in their local sports centre, [[Teignmouth Broadmeadow Sports Centre | Broadmeadow Sports Centre in Teignmouth]].<ref name="k2005"/><ref name="id"/> The name was used for this gig only.<ref name="rc199912">{{cite/Record Collector 1999-12}}</ref>

At the time, the band were liaising with a group of girls who co-wrote their music.<ref name="id"/> These girls dressed the members up and applied makeup,<ref name="id"/> the resulting look of which [[Matthew Bellamy]] later described as similar to the Cure.<ref name="k2005"/><ref name="ll20060613">{{cite/loveline20060613}}</ref>

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

According to Bellamy the origin came from "some dodgy... Japanese porn film".<ref name="ll20060613"/> The actual film in question is an independent American documentary of fetishes told through vague plot in a science fiction setting. <ref>[http://christopheraanderson.com/PROJECTS/RocketBabydolls/RBD_index.html Rocket Babydolls main page]</ref> The film had airings on late night television around Europe<ref>[http://marmysz.wordpress.com/2013/06/23/christopher-anderson-a-kickboxing-caligula/ Christopher Anderson interview]</ref>, one of those likely being watched by Bellamy himself.
