June 22, 2009, 15 years ago
Houston, Texas-based GALACTIC COWBOYS are reuniting for three exclusive Lone Star State performances in August. A statement from the band reads as follows:
"You've asked, pleaded, begged, annoyed and cajoled for long enough. Galactic Cowboys fans, your time has come. In August 2009 Galactic Cowboys will perform three shows in three Texas cities. Now that you have been informed it is your duty to make your plans and pack your bags. If you have to rent a car, book a flight, hop a train, thumb a ride, or stowaway on an interstellar transport, you must get here. You may never get this chance again, only three days, only in Texas!Don't miss what might be your last chance to see what one writer has called: "One of the most powerful live rock bands to ever tread the boards, whose musical intensity is matched only by the sheer fun each of them clearly shows on stage."
Thursday August 13th (pending) The Door in Dallas
Friday August 14th (pending) Stubb's in Austin
Saturday August 15th (confirmed) Warehouse Live in Houston
Anyone living in the Dallas and Austin area, or planning to attend the shows there, feel free to contact the club and let them know that there are people across the galaxy waiting for them to confirm the GC shows!"
