  • Bio

    THE PSYCHEDELIC COWBOYS - Established in 1997, The Psychedelic Cowboys were an initial “spark” in the resurgence of the West Coast Americana music scene. Founding member and songwriter John Harlan formed the band on the concept of “weaving together a blend of folk, country, jug band and psychedelic music” in a way that would sound unique yet tip a hat to noteworthy sixties influences such as The Byrds, Kaliedescope, and Hearts and Flowers. In 1999 the group delivered their debut record entitled, “Tragic Songs and Hop-A-Longs”. The “Tragic” record was met with high critical acclaim from publications such as Rolling Stone, The Washington Post, and The Los Angeles Daily News. For the next few years the group would perform at numerous venues in Los Angeles and throughout the West Coast. After two final performances in Virginia City, Nevada in April 2002, the group took a five year hiatus to deal with parental matters and to record what would be the long awaited follow up to the “Tragic” record. In 2007, the group’s critically acclaimed CD entitled, “Jangle Waltz an observation by The Psychedelic Cowboys” was released on the German label Taxim and is currently being distributed worldwide. Jangle Waltz CD Reviews: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Jangle Waltz reads like a radio show. The beautiful, weary voice of John Harlan connects the lines and makes this record a coherent and rich country document·" - Weibren Rijkeboer, ALT COUNTRY NETHERLANDS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Strangely Hypnotic! The ghost of Arthur Lee and Forever Changes weigh heavily on this superb record." - Andy Riggs, AMERCANA UK -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Translates homegrown experiences into corkscrewed country rockers. Pays homage to the antecedents like The Byrds but remains a distinct original. A damn fine piece of work." - Bliss, PASADENA WEEKLY -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Subtle psychedelia and melancoholic county rock. May confidently be called Cosmic American Music...An impeccable record." - Wolfgang Doebeling, ROLLING STONE (Four Star review) .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

    Hello Gents
    Best wishes from the North of England.
    I hope all is well with you & yours.
    Just posted a couple of new tunes on my page, if you fancy a listen?
    I must warn, they are not quite finished, so a little messy here & there.
    Regards

  • Glass Kitten Production…

    I'm looking for bands to play at The Blue Cafe(s) for every night of the week and select saturdays at the Puka Bar in Long Beach. You can refer to my booking blogs for what is available or send over a message of what sounds good and I can shoot over some dates for you.
    Hope to hear from you soon
