Cowboys & Aliens started their musical career way back in 1996. At that time the band performed a different kind of music (more alternative rock) in a slightly different line-up. They recorded a debut album and played lots of gigs. Looking back at these beginning years, the bands considers this time more as a sort of learning process, in preparation for the bigger work they had in mind. But let us not talk about the past. Today, Cowboys & Aliens is one of these bands that can create a real buzz, purely out of live-performances. Several half-legendary Belgian bands had to break up to make this happen. The current and more steady line up makes the chemistry work as one can hear on 2 superb albums released on Buzzville Records.

Singer Henk V. has a powerful, yet clear and very emotional voice that makes an exciting contrast with the band's sound. Without any doubt, this vocalist is one of the best rocksingers Belgium has ever had. Henk is a classic rocksinger in the vein of John Garcia and even Robert Plant. Guitar player John P. can be seen as the musical brain of the band, writing songs and producing layer upon layer of low, heavy & rhythmic guitar spawns, which makes the band's sound so unique. Yet Cowboys & Aliens would not be the same without the driving-force of Kris V (bass) and Peter G (drums), the solid rhythm section. Both musicians find their roots in the 70 pre-metal bands like Black Sabbath & Co. They add a certain good old heavy swing to the more metal driven riffs. This is definitely what you call "groove at it's best".

Talking influences, one can name anything between Sabbath & John Spencer. Cool classic rock with a groove driven sound. 2000 release "A Trip To The Stonehenge Colony" was recorded at The Hype Studios and produced by D.J., known for his work in the legendary 80's band La Muerte. D.J. has done a very good job, giving this album the right spirit and the wonderful groovy heavy sound which will make Cowboys & Aliens to be considered as one of the best Belgian bands of this era.

Early 2002 Cowboys & Aliens are celebrating the release of yet another groove driven piece of rock entitled "Love, Sex, Volume". Under the moto 'never change a winning team' again the album was recorded at The Hype Studios, produced by DJ (of La Muerte fame) and mastered by Alan Ward.

Be sure to be around when this Buzzville recording band will change your neighbourhood forever.
