New tracks are being posted at http://www.cottonmouth.org

Ok peeps, Cottonmouthgirl is BACK! Back online that is. The web site
is getting a major overhall with everything else. It's gonna take a
little bit of time, but I'm already working on it. The guys are back
in the studio jamming. I'd like to welcome Drummer Paul Lara from
Masochrist to the Cottonmouth Family along with his wife Melena and
son Eddie. Lots of Cottonmouth fans turned out for this years Back
Door Men Social in September. It was a great kick ass show like
always and went over well. It was a little bit nippy (not you Psycho)
out, but there was a great bonfire, so no one froze their balls off.
No rain this year either. Cottonmouth Stash vol.1 CDs are still
available. So be sure to get yours before they run out. So be sure to
keep eye on Cottonmouth.org some major changes are coming! Sign the
damn book too!

Wow! Nothing has went on in here in soooooooooo long. Let's get this
shit rollin again!

The world has suffered a great tragic loss
October 23rd, loosing a friend, brother, drummer/producer
of Cottonmouth, Butch McMaster, to a horrific car
accident. Butch will be missed dearly. <br>In Loving Memory
of Butch McMaster <br>January 2, 1971 - October 23,
2001 <br>When Butch walked into a place everyone felt
the whirlwind of energy, he had a dynamic character.
He was a friend to whomever his path crossed. We all
have so many great memories of Butch. Butch was the
life of every gathering, he was always social, and
embracing us with his love. He had a natural talent for
music; his ear was tuned like no other. Butch played his
drums from his soul, letting every listener feel his
intensity, surrounded by his brothers, Bash, Darren, and
Alex. Cottonmouth was Butch's passion. Words could
never be adequate in describing Butch, he was a force,
a spirit so kind, considerate, and true. No one
ever had to wonder what Butch was feeling, he wore his
heart on his sleeve for all of us to know and love.
Butch was Wendy's soulmate, lover, provider, and best
friend. He was a perfect dad to Allen, Zach, and little
Justin Lee. His love for his family was great, his
loyalty to them indescribable. How our hearts break
knowing without Butch nothing will ever be the same, get
comforted in the thought that Butch would want us to
remember him with memories of all the great times, the
music, the parties, gigs, and he would want us to
embrace his memory the way he lived - for the day,
trusting in the future goodness of all who loved him.

You were a dear friend and you will be missed by
many. Butch made his impact on the lives of those who
had the privilege to have known him. He will live on
in our hearts and in our thoughts as we try to
continue on now that he's gone. I've never known a better
friend and I know I never will. You are deeply missed my
friend and all I can think of to say ....is the last
words I heard from you "Love you Bro".

I got my Tattoo! In Loving Memory of Butch!

After a five day 'Stand off' in southern
Michigan, the owners and operators of the Rainbow Farm were
MURDERED by the FBI. These men had made great strides
toward the legalization of Marijuana in Michigan.
Cottonmouth wishes to express our deepest sympathy to the
friends and families of these great Americans. The
Rainbow Farm and everything it stands for will forever
remain in our hearts.
