The Space Cossacks, considered to be one of the best instrumental bands on the planet, started playing in 1996 when an ad in a Washington DC weekly brought them together. Croatian lead guitarist, Ivan Pongracic, has been playing guitar since the age of 8 and learned many licks from his father, who played in a Shadows tribute band in the early 60's on the Croatian coast. Pongracic's main influences are Australia's The Atlantics, Dick Dale & the Deltones, and, of course, England's The Shadows. Combining the European melodic sense of The Shadows, the aggressive energy of The Atlantics and the reverb-heavy tone and fast double-picking style of Dick Dale, The Space Cossacks sound is a wild and powerful blend of moods. The band's songs are intense, aggressive, moody, intricate yet accessible, beautiful and "other-worldly". A sound that's not easy to describe and the songwriting team of Pongracic, along with Catherine Gray (bass) and Mark English (rhythm guitar), is what makes The Space Cossacks "Russian-Space" surf music so distinct. The band have released two full length LP/CD's - "Interstellar Stomp" and "Tsar Wars" - and also appear on numerous EP's, singles and compilations. Through these releases and their mighty live shows, The Space Cossacks continue with their "Interplanetary" mission.http://www.musickrecords.com/artists/theSpaceCossacks.html

Thanks again to chocoreve for the excellent Sunshine series!
Thanks, RYP!
Ryp, there's any chance to find GIT GONE "Rockin' Tunes" (1995)(MRCD205X), Jim Stringer guitar player Hillbilly/Rockabilly Twang sound, the band was: Jim Stringer (Lead Vocals, Guitar), Sharon Ward (Upright Bass, Vocals), Lee Potter (Drums). It's really hard to find. I'll appreciate very much, cheers.
Fernando Trabulo,
unfortunately never heard of! Maybe someone else can help?
Ryp, If you want, you can check their second album "Gone Rockin" (1998), short information on Google unfortunately. A mix of Hillbilly, Rockabilly and Rock 'N' Roll. Today, Jim Stringer is much older, plays a lot of Western Swing and Honky Tonk always with best musicians of Texas. Cheers.
RYP here's info on "Git Gone" cd's.
