Scorpions Drummer’s Side Band Headlines Concert

SCORPIONS DRUMMER’S SIDE BAND HEADLINES CONCERT:

January 31, 2009

James Kottak, fresh from Germany with Scorpions, will perform one night only with his band Kottak, February 7th in Lancaster, CA. The show is in celebration of radio dj Jeff Duran’s one year anniversary back on Southern California airwaves.

The concert was created by club owner Joey Raborn, a 30 year resident and avid Rock fan who feels the High Desert lacks good concerts and radio dj’s, “The combination of Kottak and Duran’s radio show fills a major gap here.” Raborn doesn’t feel that the slow economy will affect the turnout and says “calls are coming in from Los Angeles and even further”.Coach’s is located 50 miles out of Los Angeles in Lancaster, CA and has been open for buisness since 1989.

Show will starts at 8pm with Christian metal core act Empire of Light opening. The Antelope Valley based group recently became the most requested local band on Duran’s afternoon show, which is heard locally on KKZQ 100.1 FM. Duran, who began his career as a child actor, appearing in ABC series ‘The Wonder Years’ and the 1987 movie ‘No Man’s Land’, will be hosting and broadcasting live before the concert. Since 1994, Duran has worked as a radio dj on KLSX/Los Angeles and as a stand up comedian.

Prior to joining Scorpions, Kottak was a drummer for Montrose, Kingdom Come, Wild Horses, the McAuley Schenker Group and Warrant. Kottak formed in 1998 as KrunK with Athena, rocker Tommy Lee’s younger sister, who is also a drummer and member of Kottak.
