Cowboys On Dope "the official site"

Cowboys On Dope3 Men, 2 Guitars and 1 Guitar-case.Singer and front man Peter Sarach, drummer Wolly Duese and guitarist Thorsten Dohle make a party out of every evening – and that in all imaginable places. In their own special way they present their self composed C.O.D.-compositions and selected coverversions. Peter Sarach’s voice is as though created to interpret the songs from Neil Young, Velvet Underground, Johnny Cash, Beasts of Bourbon or such as the Supersuckers. The fantastic singing harmony of the three Cowboys and Thorsten Dohle..s innovative and spontaneous way of playing guitar, turn the C.O.D.-shows into live experiences of a very special kind. Whether the whole show happens in a private living room, at a bar or a club of your confidence, no problem. C.O.D. can go in everywhere. Reason for this is their very unique instrumentation: the guitar case substitutes for an inconvenient bulky drum set and the amps do not remind one of big office-cupboards, and come in more the size of a shoe carton.C.O.D. established itself out of the core of the band Rausch, who with their success on seven major albums, writes rock history and toured for years through the whole world with bands such as Nirvana, Soundgarden, Faith No More, B-52’s etc. As Rausch performed then in 1996 at the SXSW-Music Festival in Austin/Texas, inspired from the Texan music heard there and having made some saloons and bars uncertain, the birth of C.O.D. was a closed thing. So meanwhile, the guys have already been touring Europe successfully since years, with bands like Eels, Keziah Jones, Tito and Tarantula or the Scorpions, and have this special coolness which spreads a unique atmosphere, somewhere between campfire and rock-garage everywhere they perform.In 2003, persuaded by the enormous demand from their fan community, C.O.D. produced their first studio album “High Noon”. The first edition was fast grabbed and sold out. In September 2004, “High Noon” was re-released from Sony Music by “Pirate Records”. So at last C.O.D. become available to a much wider public. In November & December 2005, the three Cowboys were back in the studio, and recorded their second album “Black Money”, which was released in spring of 2006 by their own record company “Bex Records” distributed through Rough Trade. During their 2008 “recording session gigs” C.O.D. magnetize the shows, to produce the long awaited live album, which comes out soon. In addition the third C.O.D. studio album is also in progress. In the meantime, the never ending C.O.D.-tour continues.www.cowboysondope.de
