RockMusicStar.com's Thomas Stanley Orwat Jr. has issued a new interview with guitarist Randy Cooper of rising metallers TEXAS HIPPIE COALITION. The following is an excerpt:
Q: Your first major label debut CD, Rollin', which was released on July 6th, 2010, is a very solid and hard hitting release. You’ve been touring non-stop since the release of the CD. How satisfied are you with where the band is at this point?
A: "We have big expectations and plans. When it first came out, it dropped like a bomb. We were out there doing the leg work, touring and playing. But everything we want, we want it right now and quick. But, we are learning the road of patience. Travelling out to places like Buffalo, NY and getting discovered by new people every day. We are getting a lot of new fans every day, like you. I think that if we can get on a major tour that will really help us in getting to the masses."

Texas Hippie Coalition are gearing up for a quick four-day run through The Netherlands and Belgium from January 27th - 30th, doing six shows in the four days.
Kicking off at The Rock Temple in Kerkrade on January 27th, the band will tear through the Dutch countryside hitting Zwolle, Erp and Breada before wrapping things up in Antwerp, Belgium on January 30th.
"We're thrilled to be heading back to The Netherlands," says THC frontman, Big Dad Ritch. "We had such a great time there last summer playing the Bospop Festival and the world famous Melkweg in Amsterdam and we've been waiting to get back over and meet our Dutch friends again.
