The Galactic Cowboy Orchestra has been freakin' minds for 6 years! Since 2009, the band has stretched their own musical limits with album after album of intensely energetic art-rock. The definition of art-rock? A type of rock music, often with poetic lyrics, characterized by sophisticated harmonic, dynamic and technical complexity based on forms derived from classical (and jazz) music and requiring performers of considerable training and skill. It sounds so serious but when you combine that type of music with four fun-loving musicians who don't take themselves too seriously and who have a love of so much music beyond art-rock (which is why the band covers songs from Otis Rush's "All Your Love" to "Whipping Post" to "When the Levee Breaks" to "Yyz), you get a bit of magic in live music form. The band writes and performs music that excites them and has a blast doing it!
