Galactic Cowboys are back after 17 year hiatus!
Their new song/video - Internal Masquerade - was just released yesterday and the full album, Long Way Back to the Moon, comes out in November. And it's the original line-up with guitarist Dane Sonnier!
Sounds like they've never been gone...

Song is pretty good but was hoping for a solo. Either way it's awesome to have them back with Sonnier - once he left their records where just kind of meh IMO. Those first tow are still awesome though. I'll never forget seeing them open fro Dream Theater in 1993 - they won me over.

I played in one of the Galactic Cowboys spin-off bands during the hiatus, Monty Colvin's "Crunchy". He recorded 3 albums under the Crunchy name from about 2001-2007, I played bass for him and did vocals for live shows from January 2007-October 2009. I also appeared in 3 videos to support the 3rd Crunchy album.
It was always great to actually play in a band with one of my main musical influences. The weirdest part for me was that Monty was a groundbreaking bass player for GC, but he wanted someone else (me, in this case) to play bass in his solo band. I kinda felt like that guy who played bass in Sting's first solo outing. Anyway, it was great to do and I have several fond memories about it.
I will have to pick up this new GC album.
BTW, anyone who's interested in seeing it, here's the best of the 3 videos I did with Monty and Crunchy. I'm the guy with the beard and the blue bass, enjoy!
