People may have seen them at a ProgDay preshow back in 2011, or on 1 of their brief tours in the South that same year.
Well, they have a new record coming soon titled "Zombie Mouth," and they have turned to a crowd funding campaign to help support its release.
For those who may not know them, stylistically one may describe them as a primarily instrumental group blending elements of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Mahavishnu Orchestra, King Crimson and even Rush (Lisi Wright, their violinist is not shy about her love of Rush, and the band even has covered YYZ live).

Pre-order our new album Zombie Mouth here! Help save us from the zombie apocalypse!
The Galactic Cowboy Orchestra (GCO) has been freakin’ people’s minds with our crazy art-rock music for 4 years – we’ve released 4 albums: 2 original, 2 cover. It’s been awhile since our last double-release and the time has come!
After two years of touring, playing some great shows and making new friends, we’ve managed to write and record a new album! We love it and are excited to share the music with all of you. As many of you know, our last two original albums featured complex instrumental tunes. But, man, we like to sing too! So, with Zombie Mouth (that’s what we’re calling it ), we delve into original vocal explorations as well.
We are involved in an ever-changing music business that can no longer count on record labels for any kind of real financial backing. More and more bands are acting as their own label and this is true for GCO too. We do what we do – touring, album releases, rental costs for album release parties – is all paid for with our own gig/merch income.
We started this pledge music campaign to help us cover mastering and manufacturing costs for our CD and vinyl. That’s right, vinyl! Now our fans can be involved in our little, independent GCO record label too! We’ve assembled some great rewards and we’re looking forward to getting this record done and in your hands as soon as possible.
We’re stoked to involve our fans in this project and, through your involvement in this campaign, we’ll be sharing exclusive downloads and videos so you can keep up with our crazy pre-release antics.
"The Blaze" is one of the better tracks from a previous record:
