While roaming the Canadian Highlands during the fall of '99, El Pino (lead
singer of Wiseguy) had a taste of the dark & swollen roots of rock
'n roll. Six months later El Pino left Canada and returned to the low
lands, eager to shape these new found influences into something new.
On a guitar he had traded for a six-pack of Molson Canadian and a tank
of propane back in Canada El Pino and his companions wrote a couple of
songs under the raw influence of Americana, Country Noir, Whiskey and
artists like Blue Mountain, Calexico, Buck Owens, Steve Earle and Wilco.
After releasing a limited edition 7” in May 2001 El Pino And The
Volunteers steadily gained momentum in the Rotterdam underground music
scene.
Now time has come for a follow-up:
The Cougar EP, named after the first track on the disc, comes wrapped
in an unique digi-pack and contains 4 songs recorded at Dunant Extraordinaire
