Rocky Votolato joins Barsuk, release in January

Contributed by an Anonymous Source. Posted by aubin on Saturday, October 8, 2005 at 3:47 PM (EDT)

Rocky Votolato has announced that his next full length will be released on indie Barsuk. The album is the follow up to Suicide Medicine which came closely after the final release from his former band, Waxwing. That group split up shortly after the release of Nobody Can Take What Everybody Owns.

Votolato is expected the just completed album, titled Makers, to be released on January 24th, 2006 and promises to follow the release with a national tour.

Some material from Rocky can be streamed from his myspace page.

AlmostPunkEnough (October 8, 2005)

anything minty reminds me of toothpaste. i don't think it goes well with sweet shit. it's like kissing a chick who ate a pound of chocolate then smoked a Newport. fucking menthol crap.

Rocky Votolato mmmmm goodness.

So Waxwing is officially finished? I thought they were just on some sort of "indefinite hiatus". I mean okay, it was pretty obvious, since the Blood Bros are so succesful these days... yet there was some hope left. Anyway, I'm stoked for this record. So far everything he put out was pretty awesome.

i have a question i dont know where to ask. is their any relation between gatsbys american dream and blood brothers? because they are from the same area (i think), and the bands have members that share a last name...

Rudy and Mark are brothers. -Scott

"There is another interesting aspect to The Blood Brothers this DVD does not portray. Blood Brothers members Cody Votolato and Mark Gajadhar both grew up in the Woodinville area of Washington state. These guys come from prolific musical families which include brother Rudy Gajadhar of Waxwing, Bugs in Amber and Gatsbys American Dream. Cody Votolato also plays in Waxwing alongside brother Rocky who does some incredible solo music as well. Oldest brother Sonny leads Bugs in Amber which also contains Rudy Gajadhar. I haven't even begun to cover the projects and bands the Votolato and Gajadhar brothers have been in. To say the least, these two families play a large part in the Seattle music scene." www.google.com
