» The Cowboys are back in town

Anyone wondered what happened to the Badass Cowboys, the "not very good country music" fun-project which Steven Burrows contributed his talents a few years ago until being 'arrested and deported for public hygiene infringements'?
Finally there is an album available that Slim the surviving "best member of Slipknot" completed with selected top-flight criminals.

At the Boleg Bros site you can see the video clip for the track 'Bad Syrup', listen to mp3's of the album 'Born In The KFC', see artwork etc. There is also a myspace site.
You can also order the album, download for itunes & purchase assorted merchandise like drinks coasters etc.

'Trees fans should be prepared for some formidable culture shock though... ;-)
