The Cooters are a punk rock and heavy metal band from Oxford, Mississippi. Based out of the northern hill country town of Oxford (home of Ole Miss), the band has been touring and recording since 1993. The Cooters are well known in the region. While recording albums, embarking on tours, and winning awards, The Cooters have also dealt with controversy, trademark lawsuits, and even prison sentences. The Cooters have released albums and records on Minneapolis, Minnesota record label Profane Existence, as well as Grammy-Nominated label T-Bones Records. The Cooters have released much of their music themselves. The Cooters are critically acclaimed, and their music has been described as a "mix of punk and metal with an interesting Southern flavor" by fans, while their lyrics tackle social and political topics, usually in a humorous tongue-in-cheek manner. The Cooters have toured across the United States, playing with bands such as Nashville Pussy, Jucifer, Blue Mountain, From Ashes Rise, Total Chaos, Bad Company, Seven Mary Three, Destroy!, Before I Hang, The Neckbones, Misery, and Wartorn. In 2006, The Cooters toured extensively with the Swedish band Imperial Leather and the Oregon band Happy Bastards, who also toured with The Cooters in 2008. On March 27, 2014, The Cooters were the subject of the Mississippi Public Broadcasting television show, "Oxford Sounds," along with Mississippi guitarist George McConnell, former member of Beanland (band) and Widespread Panic. The TV show was broadcast statewide on public television. The Cooters performed five songs on the show, including "Let's Rock Tonight," "Bustin' Loose," "Dare To Defy," "Take A Stand," and "Fall Apart." Cooters vocalist and bassist Newt Rayburn was interviewed by George McConnell. The Cooters celebrated their 20th Anniversary with drummer Mike Namorato on November 21, 2014 at Proud Larrys' in Oxford, Mississippi. Other bands on the bill included Before I Hang and The Heard. ==Line-up== * Newt Rayburn - Bass and vocals * Gentry Webb - Guitar and vocals * Mikey Namorato - Drums Former members & collaborators: * Brad Boatright - Guitar and Vocals, also of From Ashes Rise * Max Hipp - Guitar and Vocals, also of Morphist, Kill The Ego, Kincain, and The Apostles * Tom Queyja - Vocals and Production, also of Wobitty, New Madrid Click, and Dead Fish * Tyler Keith - Drums, also of The Neckbones, The Preacher's Kids, The Apostles, Kid Twist * Jeff Allen - Guitar and Personality * Jeff Lawrence - Percussionist * Robert Freeland - Moog and Guru * Chris Robertson - Vocals and Saxophone ;Timeline ImageSize = width:750 height:250 PlotArea = left:100 bottom:60 top:0 right:50 Alignbars = justify DateFormat = mm/dd/yyyy Period = from:01/01/1993 till:02/01/2015 TimeAxis = orientation:horizontal format:yyyy Colors = id:Vocals value:red legend:Vocals id:Guitar value:green legend:Lead_Guitar id:Bass value:blue legend:Bass id:Drums value:purple legend:Drums id:SecondGuitar value:orange legend:Second_Guitar id:Lines value:yellow legend:Singles id:Moog value:orange legend:Moog id:Lines value:black legend:Albums Legend = orientation:horizontal position:bottom ScaleMajor = increment:2 start:1993 ScaleMinor = unit:year increment:1 start:1993 LineData = at:03/15/1995 color:yellow layer:back at:08/01/1995 color:black layer:back at:08/01/1996 color:black layer:back at:08/01/1997 color:yellow layer:back at:12/01/1998 color:black layer:back at:08/01/2000 color:black layer:back at:08/01/2002 color:black layer:back at:01/01/2004 color:black layer:back at:01/01/2005 color:yellow layer:back at:01/01/2006 color:black layer:back at:01/01/2007 color:black layer:back at:08/01/2008 color:yellow layer:back at:08/01/2011 color:black layer:back at:02/01/2012 color:yellow layer:back at:03/21/2014 color:black layer:back BarData = bar:Rayburn text:"Newt Rayburn" bar:Webb text:"Gentry Webb" bar:Keith text:"Tyler Keith" bar:Freeland text:"Robert Freeland" bar:Robertson text:"Chris Robertson" bar:Lawrence text:"Jeff Lawrence" bar:Allen text:"Jeff Allen" bar:Cotten text:"Al Cotten" bar:Namorato text:"Mikey Namorato" bar:Boatright text:"Brad Boatright" bar:Hipp text:"Max Hipp" bar:Queyja text:"Tom Queyja" PlotData= width:10 textcolor:black align:left anchor:from shift:(10,-4) bar:Rayburn from:01/01/1993 till: 08/01/2008 color:Bass bar:Rayburn from:01/01/1993 till: 01/01/1994 color:Vocals width:2.5 bar:Rayburn from: 08/01/1994 till: end color:Vocals width:2.5 bar:Rayburn from: 10/01/2008 till:end color:Bass bar:Webb from:01/01/1993 till:end color:Guitar bar:Webb from: 08/01/1994 till: 09/01/1994 color:Vocals width:2.5 bar:Webb from: 06/01/1996 till: 10/01/1998 color:Vocals width:2.5 bar:Webb from: 02/01/2002 till: end color:Vocals width:2.5 bar:Keith from:01/01/1993 till:12/01/1993 color:Drums bar:Freeland from:01/01/1993 till:12/01/1993 color:Moog bar:Robertson from:01/01/1993 till:12/01/1993 color:Vocals bar:Lawrence from:12/01/1993 till:08/01/1994 color:Drums bar:Allen from:01/01/1994 till:08/01/1994 color:SecondGuitar bar:Allen from:01/01/1994 till:08/01/1994 color:Vocals width:2.5 bar:Cotten from:01/01/1994 till:08/01/1994 color:Vocals bar:Namorato from:08/01/1994 till:11/01/1998 color:Drums bar:Namorato from:09/11/1999 till:02/01/2001 color:Drums bar:Namorato from: 09/11/2001 till:12/01/2008 color:Drums bar:Namorato from: 06/15/2009 till:05/01/2012 color:Drums bar:Namorato from: 08/15/2012 till:11/21/2014 color:Drums bar:Boatright from:09/01/1994 till:06/01/1996 color:SecondGuitar bar:Boatright from:09/01/1994 till:06/01/1996 color:Vocals width:2.5 bar:Hipp from:10/01/1998 till:02/01/2002 color:SecondGuitar bar:Hipp from:10/01/1998 till:02/01/2002 color:Vocals width:2.5 bar:Hipp from:08/01/2008 till:10/01/2008 color:Bass bar:Queyja from:05/01/2001 till:05/01/2004 color:Vocals bar:Queyja from:05/01/2003 till:05/01/2004 color:SecondGuitar width:2.5 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Cooters」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
