| Both King's X and the Galactic Cowboys put on a great show in front of a small but enthusiastic crowd. | A small venue was chosen to accomodate the video shoot. | Unusual place to see a concert... but both bands made the best of it. Even though it was small... it was packed. |
| First single from Tape Head will be FADE. | Most 'radio-friendly' song on the CD. | King's X shot a video the afternoon of the show for FADE, and Doug confirmed after the show that it will be the first single. |
| NOTHING TO SAY will be the first single off of the new Galactic Cowboys album. | Judging by the reaction of the crowd... Nothing To Say should go over big. | Personally witnessed the filming of the video before the concert. |
| Alan Doss has left the Galactic Cowboys, replaced by Eric ? | Alan and the band had a falling out prior to the start of the tour. | The new drummer fit in well, but time will tell how much the band will miss Alan's many talents. |
| Ty recently signed on with Yamaha to endorse their guitars, including 3 Ty Tabor Signature Models. | After years of playing Yamahas, Ty decided it was time to get paid for doing so! | Even with the absence of Joe Barden pickups and the presence of a bridge humbucker, the tone is still unmistakably Tys. |
| The set list was evenly split between songs from all 7 studio albums. | This leg of the tour is more of a Best Of tour, with the second leg geared more towards a TAPE HEAD tour. | Something for everyone on this leg of the tour. Click here to see the song list from the Minneapolis (10/19) show. |
| The new Platypus, Massive Grooves, and Moonflower Lane albums were played during breaks between acts. | Jerry is working on his own solo release, possibly ready for release next Summer. | Jerry confirmed after the show that he has a solo project in the works. He is hoping that Ty will play guitar on the album, which will probably be recorded at Alien Beans and Hound Pound studios. |
| The second leg of the tour will kick off after the first of the year, with special 'Radio Station' appearances happening over the holidays. | The European leg of the tour, tentatively announced for early 1999 has been postponed. | The second leg of the tour will consist of North American dates only, including several in Canada. |
| Doug is planning to tour in support of his solo CD, Massive Grooves after the Tape Head tour completes. | Doug has already formed a group to go on tour with. | Doug confirmed that Chad Lyons will be the drummer on the Massive Grooves Tour. |
