<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">Why the founding members of
<b>Deep Cotton</b> – <b>Nate “Rocket” Wonder</b> and <b>Chuck Lightning</b> – jumped on Harleys and joined the punk rock motorcycle gang known as the Rolling Bones is still unknown. According to certain dubious sources, the duo have been hard at work on secret
products of their own: including, but certainly not limited to, a raucous suite of five neck-snapping songs named
<b><i>Runaway Radio</i>, </b>which will be released for free at <a href="http://www.deepcotton.net">
www.deepcotton.net</a> on <b>September 25<sup>th</sup>, 2013</b>. According to the duo, the suite is the world’s very first “Fixtape,” meaning it’s a jamming musical experience, available for free download online and designed to “fix” the ills of the world
through the peaceful and electrifying power of music.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;line-height:115%"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">The duo has been quite active in the Atlanta music scene – first, along with their illustrious partner in crime, Janelle Monáe, they founded an arts collective named the <a href="http://www.wondaland.com/" target="_blank"><b>Wondaland
Arts Society</b></a>, and secondly, according to secret agents, they have recently been sighted smiling and jamming while wearing white plastic earbuds – certified proof that they were hard at work co-writing and producing <i>The Electric Lady</i>, Janelle
Monáe’s magisterial second album, which will be released on September 10<sup>th</sup>, 2013. You can read about Chuck and Nate, and the new album in <b><i>Pitchfork’s</i></b><i> </i>cover<i> </i>feature on Janelle Monae<i> </i><a href="http://pitchfork.com/features/cover-story/reader/janelle-monae/" target="_blank">HERE</a>. When
not tearing up stages across America, the Grammy-nominated duo has also served as the primary co-writers and producers on several acclaimed Janelle Monáe endeavors, including <i>Metropolis Suite I The Chase, </i>and<i> The ArchAndroid. </i><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">The band <b>
Deep Cotton</b> got its start at Outlandia, a communal farmstead in rural Georgia where freaks, hippies and computer programmers hung out with black beatniks, Baptist strippers and acid rock poets. In fact, the band’s song
<b>“We’re Far Enough From Heaven Now We Can Freak Out”</b> was the original campfire anthem played nightly in front of the fireplace in the Boom Boom Hallelujah room. If the song sounds familiar, you may recognize it from the
<b>Sonos</b> commercial featuring <b>Janelle Monáe</b> – watch <a href="http://www.ispot.tv/ad/7Ya7/sonos-featuring-janelle-monae-song-by-deep-cotton">
