My KUTX: Hey Cowboy!

Hey Cowboy! is the KUTX Artist of the Month for April.

Hey Cowboy!

My KUTX // April 18, 2020

Austin experimental synth-pop trio Hey Cowboy! understands what makes a good name. After all, there’s no resisting an album titled Get in My Fanny Pack and Let’s Go, which is speckled with songs of equal curiosity (“Detective Farmer Brown,” “Hello Mr. Nasty,” “Queen Cactus.”) Fortunately, Hey Cowboy’s music more than lives up to the intrigue, and the album’s title serves as a testament to the songs contained inside — dreamy and playful and entirely individual.

The band’s My KUTX is similarly all over the map. Despite being socially distanced from one another these days, Gaby Rodriguez, Sydney Harding-Sloan, and Micah Vargas put together a warm and inviting guest DJ set that hops between psychedelia, Beatles classics, and bouncy Japanese pop. Dive into Hey Cowboy!’s world on Saturday, April 18 at 6 p.m. or listen at any time in the player above.
