Texas band influenced by the Outlaw Music from the seventies. Some rock and jazz influence as well. Now doing club dates and private parties around the Abilene, Texas, area.
Why this name?
We were Badd Habitt, but I think the name scared people. Lots of conservative folks in this area of the state and we figured the band name might be offending them. We changed our name to Slowcoach because I (Mark) have been in various bands in my life beginning in the late seventies that used the name "SLOWCOACH." There's a rock band in California that uses that name, too, and that's real cool. In fact, they may have the copyright on the name, but they're not giving us any hell over it.
Do you play live?
We play around the Abilene, Texas, area. The bass player and lead singer played in honky tonks all over Texas when they were kids. Their dad was the lead singer of that band and he taught them very well. Excellent musicians! Lead guitar played in various bands around Ft. Worth, Texas, for years.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Still watching. But, what an impact MP3s are making. It's hurting the artists, but, dang, they make enough money anyway for what they do. I wish us "independents" could get a shot!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
What a question. Of course!
Band History:
We do have a website but we are making "adjustments" to it.
Your influences?
The lead singer was influenced by Waylon. The lead guitar player was influenced by Willie Nelson, Jim Croce, and stuff like that.
Favorite spot?
Sweetwater, Texas!
Equipment used:
I use a guitar and way too expensive software that I've purchased over the years.
Anything else...?
This song (Ride With Me Baby) is currently playing on area radio stations with pretty darn good response.
