GLENN KOTCHE

'Glenn Kotche' (IPA pronunciation: ) is an American drummer, best known for his involvement in the band Wilco.
Prior to working with Wilco, Kotche had released a four-track album entitled ''Introducing''. In 2003, he released a second solo album titled ''Next'', featuring solo drum improvisations using homemade percussion instruments. A third solo album was released in March 2006 on Nonesuch Records, entitled ''Mobile.
Kotche wound up joining Wilco because of Jim O'Rourke, who caught him playing a show with Edith Frost. [1] Throughout Kotche's career with Wilco (''Yankee Hotel Foxtrot'') and his solo projects, he has made percussive use of various found objects such as scrap metal and hubcaps.
Kotche has also collaborated on several other side projects with members of Wilco and the Chicago scene, including Tweedy, O'Rourke, both together in the trio Loose Fur, Darin Gray (in the jazz duo On Fillmore), cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm, percussionist Tim Barnes, and many others. He has appeared on over 70 recordings to date.
Glenn went to Lake Park High School in Roselle, IL, and later the University of Kentucky, where he honed his musical skill and technique and obtained a bachelor's degree in performance.
