Hailing from Edmonton Canada, the band started in 2000 playing local shows and quickly became the go to band to support touring acts. In 2005 the Cowboys released their first recordings on the Zombie Night in Canada 2 compilation and released their debut Underworld Boogie in 2006. Following this, the band did two tours of western Canada and in 2007 added a horn section to the traditional 3 piece rockabilly line up. The addition of a Trumpet and Trombone to the lineup gave the band a unique sound that’s gained them rave reviews everywhere they played.

In 2008 the Rayguns recorded a new album and signed a deal with Stumble Records, they followed this with two tours of Canada in 2009. Over the past four years the band has also played some of the best festivals in Canada including North Country Fair, Folk on the Rocks, Beaumont Blues Fest, Hotrod Hootenanny and the Salmon Arm Blues and roots festival. In 2010 the Rayguns did a three week tour of Europe in the fall gaining them new fans from all over the continent. In 2011 the band backed up rockabilly legend Wanda Jackson at the Edmonton folk festival and began recording their third full length album in the fall. The band recently did a west coast tour of the United States and played the Ink n Iron Festival in long beach California. Their last album Cowboy Up was released in September 2012 and followed by a European tour in spring 2013.
