CD Review – Invisible Man

Music for Lost Souls and Misfits

Indie

A misty March night in Montreal finds a lone songwriter pouring out enough emotion into 13 songs of Lennon–influenced rock that thankfully does not sound like a "typical" Canadian artist.

Former Hard Rock Superstar (to The Stars) Chaz Coats-Butcher has done about a dozen "Tours of Duty" and has landed in hostile territory ruled by his own unique brand and sound.

Singer, songwriter, bassist, guitarist and more His talents have seen him playing with likes of Bruce Kulick (KISS, Grand Funk Railroad) John Corabi (Motley Crue, The Scream) West Arkeen (Guns n Roses, The Outpatience) as well as a full time slot with the legendary Can-con punk kings The Forgotten Rebels. Primarily a bassist his multi-instrumentation has carried his career to a new breeding ground now based in Montreal. The debut from Invisible Man ‘Music for Lost Souls and Misfits’ features solid songwriting, catchy hooks and intimate lyrics that make this release an inviting one. Where is a decent A&R person when you need one?
