BW&BK; has received the following press release:
O.T.R is just such an idea: a new multinational rock group which has brought vocalist John Lawton (ex-URIAH HEEP/LUCIFER'S FRIEND) and guitar player Jan Dumee (ex-FOCUS), together with renowned Brazilian musicians.
John Lawton comments: "In April 2006 Jan contacted me, after leaving Focus, with the plan to lock together his love for melodic rock and my blues/rock influences… I liked what I heard. With Jan making my inexpensive guitar sound like a very expensive one, I knew we were on the right track."
OTR recorded its debut album Mamonama in Rio de Janeiro and the Netherlands. The mixdown was done in Brazil's foremost CD/DVD recording studio Mosh in Sao Paulo with a release set for October 10th 2008 on Lion Music.
