THE COWSLINGERS


Greg Miller: Vocals / Bobby Latina: Guitar / Ken Miller: Bass / Leo Love: Drums

During its initial 15-year stampede, nothing about The Cowslingers was low-key.

Formed in 1989, the band barnstormed the world, playing more than 600 gigs, from West Virginia to Spain, Seattle to Germany.

The Cowslingers' whomp-and-stomp sound cruised as many musical paths. Over nine albums, 12 singles and two EPs, the band explored dusty detours, from country to punk to rockabilly to hard rock to garage rock.

That eclecticism -- and Greg Miller's irreverent attitude, yelps and howls -- set the cow-punks apart from the herd. It also led to a number of reunion offers after the band called it quits in 2004, with Latina carrying on in the Jack Fords and the others forming the Whiskey Daredevils.

"We've gotten back together for a few shows and remained friends," says Greg Miller. "We recorded here and there, very casually. We never gave much thought or talked about recording or doing shows... We have done shows in Cleveland and Cincinnati and Columbus. Who knows, we might do more..."
