The ROTO Horns on Peter Alsop's LP 1976

Solo artist Peter Alsop was RRGTCB's opening act for many Ice House performances. For his Flying Fish LP "Asleep At The Helm" Peter enlisted the section work of the "Roto Horns" for "sweetening" on 4 of his songs. Prominently featured on the title track, "Doin' It For You", "The Young Woman Disco" and "When You Ask Me First" we enjoyed the session and were very pleased with the results.

Something is brewing in Roto Rooter Land

Sgt. Charts evaluating "new" possibilities in his sophisticated state-of-the-art digital work station in preparation for exactly WHAT??????

Could it be true? Are Sgt. Charts and Dr. Mabuse, d.o.a. up to something? What's this about a Rooter Revival? Have they started already utilizing their newly found skills with ProTools? Is there a list of songs that are being considered for Roto-izing? If so, what are they going to do with all this? A "new" album? The possibilities are unlimited and already IN PROGRESS! Look for the original members to contribute to this new project and be ready for some exciting new YOUNG talent to join in. Coming soon in 2011. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
