About this project
With the money that we raise through kickstarter we plan to pay the engineer of the record we recorded over a year ago. We also plan to master the finished record and press 1000 copies on C.D. With any remaining money we would like to create promotional materials on our own to publicize our new album. If we are able to exceed our goal we will press 500 vinyl copies and make a music video.

Connected as SlowMotion Cowboys (363 friends)
In Decemeber Slow Motion Cowboys spent a week in Milwaukee living and recording in the home studio of Victor and Malachi DeLorenzo (Violent Femmes, Langhorne Slim). After touring and releasing various home recordings over the last 9 years out of Olympia, WA as well as San Francisco, SMC will release their first full length album Buzzard Songs this Spring, if the money can be raised. With the help of Mid-West veteran steel player Cayenne Dan Massie and up-right bass player Paul Defiglia (Avett Brothers, Langhorne Slim), Trainwreck Riders frontman and SMC founder Pete Frauenfelder describes the world around him in a direct and honest way that defines his specific brand of songwriting. Tight vocal harmonies and a commitment to traditional instrumentation blend behind stories where bootleggers and abalone divers mingle with wild beasts along forgotten coasts. The native San Franciscan sings songs in a style all his own, of places that may or may not exist. These are Buzzard Songs, stories not often told today, slowly picked from the ashes of the past.
