Singer and guitar player James Marler and steel guitar player Chris Colombo started the band in New Orleans in 1999, and self-released their proper debut, <i>Long After the Thrill</i>, two years later. Though a number of personnel changes ensued, the band followed it in 2003 with the six-song <i>Quitters</i> EP, and solidified a line-up with drummer Zack Smith, multi-instrumentalist Matt Aguilez, and bassist Jason Rhein. That lineup set to work on <i>Chained to the Chariot</i> in 2004, a project that was nearly destroyed by Hurricane Katrina and eventually finished under the care of vet Cajun music producer Ivan Klisanin. - Nate CavalieriIndie/Alternativeen720Thu, 26 Nov 2009 15:59:37 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.11367108&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Frotary-downs%2Fplaylists.rss With their fuzzy, hooky, experimental pop, Rotary Downs has emerged as a leader in New Orleans' underground rock scene.
