We are deeply saddened by the passing of our friend Jan Kotik who was an original member of Johnny Society. Jan recorded 'It Don't Matter' with us at Bearsville Studios in 1997. He also worked with us on 'Wood' in 1998 which was voted one of the top ten albums of that year by the NY Times. Jan was a great musician and artist and it was a great honor for us to work with him. He is survived by his wife Gabriela Bukovinská Kotik and their two young sons, Armand (2.5 years) and Taber (1.5 years), his mother, Charlotta Kotik, his father, Petr Kotik and his brother Tomas. Our hearts go out to them all. To hear some of Jan Kotik's other musical work check out The Mommyheads first couple of records as well as early Church of Betty records (some could be found at FangRecords.com). Click here for more info about the life of Jan Kotik.
