4 unusual facts about Susan Cowsill


Continental Drifters

Though the line-up changed several times, at one point the band comprised a kind of college rock/indie-rock/power-pop supergroup, including as it did Peter Holsapple of the dB's, Mark Walton of The Dream Syndicate, Bangle Vicki Peterson and Susan Cowsill of The Cowsills.

Susan Cowsill

The album, tentatively titled Cocaine Drain, was produced by Chuck Plotkin, but was not released until 2008.

By the early 1990s Susan had developed an affinity for Americana-style music, which in 1991 led to her joining the Continental Drifters, further honing her songwriting talents.

Susan has also made guest appearances on many albums, including Hootie and the Blowfish's 2003 self-titled release, Paul Sanchez's 2008 album Exit to Mystery Street, Giant Sand's 1992 release Glum, and A Fragile Tomorrow's releases Beautiful Noise (2008), Tripping Over Nothing (2010), and Be Nice Be Careful (2013).


Vicki Peterson

After The Bangles disbanded in 1989, Peterson played with the Continental Drifters and The Psycho Sisters, in both cases alongside Susan Cowsill.
