Producers going through changes

by Russ DeVault

Atlanta's Producers, who play Saturday night at the Cotton Club are hoping a new manager, a new producer and some new rock music will rejuvenate the band's recording career.

The band, which plays about 170 club and college-campus dates a year, recorded two albums for Epic during the early '80s but was dropped in '83. "We put out one - `Run For Your Life' - with our own money in '85, and it sold about 30,000 copies and kept our career alive," says drummer Bryan Holmes.

"Now we've been working with producer Rodney Mills at New Age Sight & Sound an Atlanta studio and we've signed with Derrick Sutton, who's managed Styx, Jethro Tull and Procol Harem, and we're fairly confident something's going to happen with a major label.

"Our new stuff is a little more guitar oriented, a bit more straightahead rock," Holmes adds.

(The Cotton Club is at 1021 Peachtree St.; Hellhounds open at 10 p.m.; $7; 874-2523.)
