Band Prevails in Binding Arbitration Case, Awarded 330K

The record deal that TCC signed back in 2005 quickly went south. After nearly four years, the band is now free from the contract AND was awarded 380K by an arbitrator. The defendents were shown to have committed fraud as well as to have displayed all sortsa negligence. Don't mess with Texas OR a Cuban Cowboy. While the band has yet to be paid, victory alone is muy sweet. Read the gory details HERE.

TCC Contributes Theme Song for New Documentary
The film, entitled "Will the Real Terrorist Please Stand Up? deals with the Cuba/S. Florida Cuban Exile polemic. It focuses on the plight of the 'Cuban 5' (the Cuban spies, being held in the U.S. [recently denied appeals by the Supreme Court]) while putting our foreign "policy" in historical, bloody context. "El Danzon de Noventa Millas" (one of our new tunes) is the movie's theme song. Director Saul Landau expects the film to be released later this year.

"This foursome pounds out some of the best, if not the only, ‘Cuban surf-rock’ you’ve ever heard. So hip-rocking, it makes you want to buy a cowboy hat and howl at the moon."
NY POST

"There's no doubt that the Cowboys put on one of the best shows in the local pop scene."
—NY Daily News
"Latin lover/Miami native Jorge Navarro growls, spits, sways, and swoons, melding traditional and mod to concoct and indie-flavored hybrid of surf and Son" —AUSTIN CHRONICLE
