Galactic Cowboys were a heavy metal band based in Houston, Texas. They combined progressive metal with a style of vocals influenced by The Beatles and the heavy playing style of thrash bands such as Anthrax.
Galactic Cowboys was formed in 1989/1990 in Houston, Texas by bassist Monty Colvin and singer drummer Alan Doss, after being together in The Awful Truth. After that band broke up, they added singer Ben Huggins and guitarist Dane Sonnier. They tried to use the name Houston Astros but changed it to GC when they find out that one was taken.
In 1990, the band was signed to DGC and released their eponymous debut album in 1991. Despite some favorable criticism, the band was ignored by the label due to the success of Nirvana's Nevermind during that same time. After poor sales and some touring, they returned to the studio and released Space In Your Face in 1993. The album garnered some minor hits for the band with "If I Were A Killer" and "I Do What I Do", both of which received regular airplay at MTV and the now-defunct radio station ZROCK respectively. At this point, the band was dropped from DGC and guitarist Dane Sonnier left the band.
The band reorganized with Wally Farkas on guitars and a new deal with Metal Blade Records, and released their third album (Machine Fish) in 1996. That same year they also released an EP titled Feel The Rage that included some original songs, two covers and two live tracks. In 1997, they followed with The Horse That Bud Bought which was a minor departure into a toned-down style.
At this point, Alan Doss decided to leave the band to dedicate to other projects. However, they still worked together in the recording of their 1998 follow-up, At The End Of The Day. Erick Tatuaka was hired to fill in for Doss during their subsequent tour, but was not considered an official member of the band.
In 2000 the band announced the release of their last album titled Let It Go. The album included lead vocal contributions from all members. Even though former drummer Alan Doss did some backing vocals and worked with the mixing of the album, most of the drumming duties were handled by Jerry Gaskill (King's X), a good friend of the band.
As of 2006, the former members of the band continue to be active in the music scene.
