The Kootz -- But don't call them "OLD"!
by George!
Friday December 21, 2007

Vintage is more like it. Yes, that is North Jersey's hardest-working cover band posing with Father Christmas himself, at Hennessey's in Morristown on Thursday night.

The Kootz actually are a 'franchise' comprising 14 or so fifty-something rockers who perform in various permutations at more than 200 gigs a year.
