With open, haunting music reminiscent of the desolate west Texas sky, Lubbock
based Thrift Store Cowboys have captivated audiences from coast to coast with
their dark, subtle lyrics and a blending of soaring violin draped against
bottom-ended guitar and pedal steel sounds that spaghetti Western composer Ennio
Morricone might envy. Following in the unique footsteps of a Lubbock legacy
started by Buddy Holly, The Flatlanders, and Terry Allen, Thrift Store Cowboys
add their own modern influences and flavor to the already rich musical heritage.
Their new album, Lay Low While Crawling or Creeping, was recorded at Wavelab
Studios in Tucson, Arizona, and produced by Craig Schumacher (Calexico, Iron and
Wine, Neko Case.) The album will be released nationally in November 2006.
Constant touring throughout the South and Southwestern United States has helped
Thrift Store Cowboys build their fan base. Over the last five years, they have
been invited to some of the country's top indie venues: the Granada Theater in
Dallas, the Bluebird Theater in Denver, Threadgill's World Headquarters in
Austin, and the Launchpad in Albuquerque. They have shared the stage with
national acts like the Old 97's, Ian Moore, the Flatlanders, Billy Joe Shaver,
and DeVotchKa.
Rather than depend on one or two leaders to shape its sound, Thrift Store
Cowboys draws on the talents of all five members. What results is an
intoxicatingly eclectic mix that on any given night can include rock, country,
mariachi, and even waltzes. In February the band completed work on a new album,
recorded at Wavelab Studios in Tucson, Arizona and produced by Craig Schumacher
(Calexico, Neko Case, Iron & Wine).
