Based in Los Angeles, KOTTAK has a third cd ready for release. Produced by Tommy Henriksen (DAUGHTRY), KOTTAK is looking forward to shows throughout 2010 across the USA and around the world.
Kottak is fronted by James Kottak, best know as the
drummer for The Scorpions.
"We are ‘Cheap Trick meets Green Day on a bad day.’ Throw in a dash of Social Distortion and Nickelback and you have a recipe for a freight train barreling right through the arena!” says James who becomes his alter-ego JIMMY RATCHITT/vocals & guitar when fronting KOTTAK. ATHENA/drums & vocals (lil sis of Tommy Lee), Johnny Lucas/guitar and Price Vernon/bass round out KOTTAK’S line up. With it’s debut ‘greatist hits’ and critically acclaimed follow up ‘therupy’, KOTTAK 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. KOTTAK’S live shows deliver a ‘one-two punk & roll hit between the eyes’.
