Drummer Reynold "Butch" Carlson has parted ways with The Cotton Soeterboek Band. Bassist Mike Davis has left the group as well. Butch Carlson previously played with Jag Panzer and Rob Rock, among others."We have just finished two weeks of rehearsals in Boulder, Colorado (one of the most beautiful places in the country) at Dog House Music, preparing for our European tour later this year. Great musicians and great guys, let me tell you, this band is smokin'! We are real happy to have them onboard. Because of the rehearsal schedule, mixing dates with John Custer have gotten pushed back. I will also be in Holland later this year for a few more rehearsals and for the band to finish writing the second album."
The Cotton Soeterboek Band's lineup is completed by vocalist Robert Soeterboek of Ayreon repute.
According to a posting on The Cotton Soeterboek Band's web site, the group's sound "features a fusion of classic British hard rock influences and Southern rock sensibility, bringing a refreshing honesty to the music, cutting against the grain of polished pop that's now in vogue."
