Interview: Monty from Galactic Cowboys Is Never Bored

Galactic Cowboys
After a 17 year hiatus, the Galactic Cowboys are back and they're hot on the heels of their reunion LP, Long Way Back To The Moon.

Recently Monty was able to stop by the Glacially Musical Orbiting Space Station, 2nd Moon of Jupiter, Hallway On The Left Hand Side of the Lunchroom on the second leg of his round trip on the way back home from the moon.

If you think a layover in Atlanta is bad...try one on Io.

GM: Talk me through how you guys decided to get it back together.

Monty: I actually got a call from my friend, Bill Evans, and he told me there might be a label interested in signing us. 

I'd worked with Bill in the past on some solo stuff, and so I knew he had some connections, and I told him I thought it sounded interesting.

Vinyl Review: "Long Way Back To The Moon" by Galactic Cowboys

Long Way Back To The Moon
Go to any corner of the internet and you'll see about how Nirvana ruined the world for metalheads.

Please note: This statement is even more erroneous than piracy killed the music industry.

Each of these two things were contributing factors to where the world headed, but simply contributing factors. Neither was the sole reason something happened.

The early 90's was a divergent time for metal. What most people back in those freewheeling pre-grunge days thought of as metal was Poison, Bon Jovi, etc.

Well, it wasn't long before the wider world learned the name Metallica. Then it was Pantera. Slayer, Megadeth, and even Obituary, Cannibal Corpse, and Morbid Angel got people talking.

Video: "Zombies" by Galactic Cowboys

Who out there loves metal? And we're talking about the real metal that'll blow your hair back like being in a Corvette with the top down?

What about Zombies? Years before I had children, the plan was to teach them that zombies gotta be popped in the head to take them out. Side bar: Playing House of the Dead 2 gave my daughter nightmares, so we had to knock it off. We will have to get to that lesson later. Hopefully before the Zombie Apocalypse finally happens right?

In the mean time, check out the latest single from Galactic Cowboys. This is the second single from their new record, Long Way Back From The Moon. It's their first release since 1993!

Well, they made a new fan in me today. Though I wasn't around during their first trip, it's glad their back and ready to go. Pick up the vinyl HERE and check them out on Facebook.
