Bassist
Monty Colvin and drummer
Alan Doss first played together in Houston in a band called
the Awful Truth. When it split up,
Colvin and
Doss recruited vocalist
Ben Huggins and guitarist
Dane Sonnier to form
Galactic Cowboys. Signed soon after by DGC, the metallic rock combo released a self-titled debut in 1991 and
Space in Your Face two years later. Following the release of
Space in Your Face, the group was dropped by DGC and
Wally Farkas replaced
Sonnier (who formed the Sonnier Brothers Band). By the end of 1995,
Galactic Cowboys signed with Metal Blade, releasing their first album for their new label,
Machine Fish, in January 1996. Several months later, the band released the EP
Feel the Rage, followed in 1997 by
The Horse That Bud Bought.
At the End of the Day appeared in 1998, and two years later
Galactic Cowboys returned with
Let It Go. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
