stardom. The band broke up for unknown reasons. Some claim vodoo. Others say it was creative differences.
Cooper went on to play bass in the short lived Techno ('cause they techno guitars) band called, "Science"
with Ben Davis (singer/songwriter/keyboardist) of "The Odds, 2minutes50", and Chown Carter (drums) of "The Untouchables", (Portland band).
Following this, Cooper joined Jim France Rueterskiold (singer/songwriter), Demetre Hajenian (guitar)
and Ried Kenner (drums) who were forming "Superstitions".
The band went though a couple of permutations, adding another guitarist (Kevin Congove of Restless Natives), changing drummers to Charlie Maur (a friend of Cooper's) and losing a guitarist (Hajenian), until finally disbanding.
Ken E. Cooper is currently playing bass with Ricky Taura in the band, "Powerhit" and writing.
