PSA: Galactic Cowboys reunite! – UPDATED!

Let’s face it… it’s been too long, and yes, it’s been the works before, but now we can say, without a doubt that the Galactic Cowboys are back! …for a trio of Texas dates at least. All five Cowboys – Ben Huggins, Monty Colvin, Wally Farkas, Dane Sonnier and Alan Doss will be playing shows in Houston, Austin and Dallas in mid-August. Not in Texas? Well… rumor has it the band will be taking a film crew along to document the reunion and plans are to create a DVD to share with the masses. Interested in setting the playlist? Head on over to galacticcowboys.com and jump on the forum with your song ideas. And for fun… here’s another GC song from my 40th birthday party earlier this year!

In this two-part series, Wally will first walk us through the hand-made pedal board that he used on the road during the Metal Blade years with the Cowboys. Later, he will let us in on his amp and guitar collection and drop a few hints about his upcoming solo record ‘Past Due’… slated for release this fall on Molken Music. Now, over to Wally…
