KRANK GEAR USED: Krankenstein+, Krankenstein Cab
JAMES KOTTAK…AKA…JIMMY RATCHITT/vocals & guitar and ATHENA/drums (lil’ sis of Tommy Lee), describe KOTTAK music as ‘Cheap Trick meets Green Day on a bad day.’ “Throw in a dash of Social Distortion and Papa Roach and you have a recipe for a freight train barreling right through the arena!” says Ratchitt. Johnny Lucas/lead guitar and Price/bass round out KOTTAK’S line up. Kottak has just finished six new trax with producer Tommy Henriksen (Daughtry, BC Jean). ‘Don’t Wanna Go Home’, Drunk Unkle Pete, & ‘Sunset Blvd’ are a few titles.
With it’s debut CD ‘greatist hits’ and critically acclaimed follow up ‘therupy,’ KOTTAK (formerly KrunK) has established itself as more than just a band with a spelling problem. Several tours of Japan, Europe, Mexico, and countless west coast runs have yielded a reputation as a rock solid act.
Whether headlining, sharing the stage with Motley Crue or as a guest on The Warped Tour, KOTTAK’S live shows deliver a ‘one-two punk & roll hit between the eyes’ while incorporating a few classics from the Scorpions. Based in Los Angeles, KOTTAK’s latest “Rock and Roll Forever” is out May 14 and is looking to kick ass thru 2010!!!
