GALACTIC COWBOYS To Reunite For One-Time Concert
June 10, 2013, 11 years ago
Former Geffen Records/Metal Blade recording artist, GALACTIC COWBOYS, will reunite for a (nearly) 25-year reunion concert in Houston at Acadia Bar and Grill on September 13th hosted by Lone Star Metal, a Texas based webzine and promotions company. The original line-up of Monty Colvin, Dane Sonnier, Alan Doss, and Ben Huggins have agreed to reform for a special one-date concert in their hometown of Houston, TX.
The band formed in 1989 by Colvin, Sonnier, Doss and Huggins and took the Texas music scene by storm, which in turn caught the eye of Geffen Records. 2014 marks their 25-year anniversary as a band, however 2013 marks the 20-year anniversary of the release of their sophomore album Space in Your Face. Galactic Cowboys have been anything but predictable and decided a preemptive strike was necessary. Thus, the (nearly) 25-year reunion show was created in true Galactic Cowboys’ tongue-in-cheek fashion.
“We are super excited to have the honor of hosting Galactic Cowboys this September at Acadia. I’ve been a huge fan of the band from almost the beginning, and to be able to pull this reunion off is an enormous accomplishment for myself and Lone Star Metal,” said founder and owner of Lone Star Metal, Rusty Conner.
“Come see the original line-up of GC doing stuff off our first 2 albums. We are looking forward to crushing everyone's skull!” said bassist Monty Colvin of the reunion.
