Located two hours from Dallas and an hour from Shreveport in a steamy pocket of Northeast Texas, Longview is a mid-size city (close to 80,000 people) that Hollywood knows as the birthplace of Oscar winner Forest Whitaker and the onetime hometown of heartthrob Matthew McConaughey.
But ask Bryan "Frixy" Simons, the frontman of the up and coming rap/rock

powerhouse White Trash Cowboys, and Terry ("T-Bone") Martin, the band"s guitarist and Bryan"s partner in musical crime, and they"ll call their hometown the way they still see it: a bastion of trailer park hicks and stereotypical rednecks.
Poking cheerfully at their roots"yet complementing the humor with a pickup truck full of edgy punches at corporate America--is just part of the fun the White Trash Cowboys (www.whitetrashcowboys.com) have on their explosive, in your face self-titled debut, which blends their bombastic rock plus rap vibe into a quickly detonating Molotov cocktail of Aerosmith meets Kid Rock attitude. Underscored with that added redneck, Southern American perspective, of course.
In early 2009, the scorching, guitar crunching rap/rocker "No Better" will be sent to hundreds of radio programmers by veteran promoter Howie Rosen.
Over the past few years, WTC has opened for The Marshall Tucker Band, Eddie Money, Sister Seven and its lead singer Patrice Pike, who appeared as a finalist on the CBS reality show "Rock Star: Supernova" in 2006.
The White Trash Cowboys worked on half the tracks in L.A. with veteran engineer and producer David Eaton, whose mile long resume includes Van Halen, Warrant and Melissa Etheridge. For the remainder of White Trash Cowboys , they snagged one of Bryan"s lifelong heroes, Ratt drummer Bobby Blotzer, to helm the sessions and play drums on the tracks.
The White Trash Cowboys have been holed up the past few months putting together and perfecting their live show"which they plan to debut both locally and then on tour starting in early 2009.
