biographical info
The king is dead! In 2001 Calgary, Canada and the world of modern big-beat guitar music as a whole lost it’s undisputed kings of instrumental twang, cowtown three-piece Huevos Rancheros. Long live the king! Never a man to stand still long enough to cast a shadow, Huevos’ blazing guitarsmith Brent J. Cooper whupped together another killer trio of wordless wonders, the Ramblin’ Ambassadors, with dusty Bow Valley buddies Scott Nickless & Tyler Pickering. The result? Nine ripping tracks of instrumental guitar rock that will blow your boots off. With “almost” not a word to be heard from start to fisnish, Avanti! speaks the universal language, rock and fucking roll, and speaks it fluently, fluidly.
