Mention Monty Colvin to anyone who is a fan of the Houston rock scene and you are sure to get a big response.
Monty was one of the founding members of the band Galactic Cowboys, whose blend of heavy metal, excellent melody and vocal harmonies put them on a par with other Houston favourites Kings X. When the Galactics split in 2000 Monty was the first to set up his own solo project, Crunchy.
Unfortunately for Monty and his bandmates bungling managerial decisions (including neglecting to put the bands name on their album!) and misfortune conspired against the band.

 NEWCITYCHICAGO.COM: Street Smart Chicago
I've known the band's front man, Monty Colvin, for several years now, dating back to when Colvin was signed with Geffen records with the speed metal/Beatle-pop quartet, Galactic Cowboys.
In an ongoing crusade to expose themselves and their new disc, "All Day Sucker," to a wider audience, Colvin and his three bandmates are opening for Bar 7, a band lead by two former members of the very forgettable, character- starved, image-anemic eighties metal band, Tesla.
While Colvin, with his John Lydon spiky orange hairdo, pogos frenetically across the stage—the crowd is hungry for old-fashioned hair metal.

It turns out that Monty Colvin, the frantic red-haired bassist (who nearly sweated on me at Piere’s back in ‘93) wanted to pursue other ventures, those ventures becoming his band Crunchy and their eventual album All Day Sucker.
But Colvin’s humor is evident in the arrangements and the lyrics, when they occasionally surface through the blizzard of guitars.
Far and away the best track on the album is the stellar “Sorority Girl,” a love song from Monty to his wife during their college days where he finds himself attracted to her because she hates R.E.M., pearls, and sorority girls.

It's apparent such a worry wasn't there, as the album's artwork — once again painted by Monty — features an expected painting of a horse, but that horse is surrounded by pretty flowers.
While most bands don't even know what an advance from a record label is (money the label gives you for the album before you record), the band used theirs to build a studio.
Another thing they did this year was to make a video for a song on the record called "Evil Twin," which Monty describes as "a heavy pop song about blaming your problems on other people." The video was produced by Frank Hart, so expect quality there.

 Transcending the Mundane: Review of 'The Horse That Bud Bought' by Galactic Cowboys
The Horse That Bud Bought offers enough "classic" GC elements (crunching riffs, melodic and lush harmonies, sardonic introspection) and new twists (a sound and style that continues to evolve since the departure of producer Sam Taylor, the full integration of Wally Farkas into the band as a creative partner, "radio-friendly" singles) to please almost everyone.
The heart and backbone of the band remains bassist Monte Colvin, a spirited stage performer who somehow manages to sound every bit as intense and merciless in the studio.
He drives the group's music with strong and aggressive rhythms, establishing a level of energy that the rest of the outfit inevitably matches.
