Kottak - Rock & Roll Forever! (2010)

2010 release, the third album from this band led by James Kottak, best known as the drummer for the Scorpions. 'We are 'Cheap Trick meets Green Day on a bad day.' Throw in a dash of Social Distortion and Nickelback and you have a recipe for a freight train barreling right through the arena!' says James. The band also features Athena, Tommy Lee's little sister, on drums. Kottak has established itself as more than just a band with a spelling problem. Several tours of Japan, Europe, Mexico, and countless West Coast runs have yielded a reputation as a rock solid act.

Kottak, formerly known as KrunK, is a punk rock/pop punk group formed in Los Angeles in 1996 by James Kottak a.k.a. Jimmy Ratchitt, ex-drummer for the hard rock band Scorpions and his ex-wife Athena Lee. In early November 1997, KrunK walked away with two awards in the 2nd Annual Rock City News Awards for bands in Los Angeles. The band was named BEST PUNK BAND, and Athena won BEST FEMALE DRUMMER. In the 7th Annual L.A. Music Awards, Athena was nominated for BEST DRUMMER (Males & Females). She was the first female ever nominated in the history of the L.A. Music Awards. In 2006, the band changed its name from KrunK to Kottak, citing the need for a more original name now that "krunk" has become a general term.
