Instrumental. Named after the last Cheech Wizard album of which all but Fonckeltoff were a part of in different ways.
The debut album titled Rotan has been released April 2009 by Laterax.
Nanko also has his electronic solo outfit and the band Doodoo's Coffee with Bruno (Stöma, Harry Merry and the Must, Dr.Schnitt, Wego, KasKo) and Wouter (Stöma, Harry Merry and the Must). Our keyboardist Fonckeltoff (Special Power, Ex-The New Earth Group, KasKo, Vonck & Raetel) works as an octopus composing, recording and producing and Martin (Harry Merry and the Must) also plays with Special Power (band of former Cheech Wizard vocalist Rob) together with Michel the bassplayer. Lost? It is one incestuous musical group of people.
