For over twenty years, The Lazy Cowgirls were the undisputed kings of Los Angeles underground rock n' roll, releasing countless singles and albums for labels such as Sympathy For the Record Industry, Crypt, Bomp!, and Gearhead. Wayne Coyne, of The Flaming Lips, called them an «American Institution». The Cowgirls may be no more, but their founder, vocalist and songwriter, Pat Todd, has released his fourth full length album with The Rankoutsiders entitled «Blood & Treasure». The album reflects the diversity of American Rock 'n' Roll. Love, hope, sex, death, betrayal, renewal - it's all here. Pat Todd's songwriting is a road map that leads back to the self - an existential longing to reside in the aesthetics of self-creation. Some call it art, others the blues, soul, country, rock n' roll - Keith and Mick live there; so do Ronnie, Johnny, Gram, and Hank.
