From Austin, Texas.  Led by Chip Kinman (vocals/guitar) and brother Tony Kinman (vocals/bass) with Alejandro Escovedo (guitar) and Slim Evans (drums).  A firm So. California punk heritage, the Kinman brothers were members of legendary Los Angeles bands The Dils and The Nuns.  This band embraced the cowpunk sound and let their Texas surroundings guide them.  Escovedo would later form the True Believers and is currently enjoying a solid solo career.  He is also the uncle of pop star Sheila E.  Surprisingly the Kinmans went on to form industrial band Blackbird before returning to their roots with the country flavored Cowboy Nation.  1982-87.
