The Rum Diary, aka The Cotati Sound Machine, is currently on permanent vacation.

Often referred to as the A-Team of Rock, The Rum Diary joined forces in February 2000, 50 miles outside of San Francisco in the rural town of Cotati. Specializing in a heady blend of dream pop and post-rock consisting of Joe Ryckebosch, Schuyler Feekes, Daniel McKenzie, and Jon Fee.

Press darlings and always the last ones standing at the end of the night, live shows often ended with an infamous indie-rock-drum-circle. Songs ranged from a cacophony of orchestrated distortion to pleasant indie pop gems. Sometimes they just made noise and the people loved.
