Southwest Montana's Most Country country western dance band, www.Twang offers up real country music with a big fat dance groove. None of that smarmy, whiny, country that comes out of Nashville these days, but the real deal, old-time honky-tonk country: the way we play it for the cowboys here in the Northern Rockies!
Truck songs, bad chick tunes, cowboy, drinkin', carousin', cheatin', road house tunes.
That's why www.Twang is the favorite for live country dance music from Livingston to Belgrade, Bozeman to Big Sky, Gateway to Bridger, Miles City to Manhattan. Join Buck Buchanan, John Regan, Sandy Dodge, Jim Lewis, and Russ Olsen for a rompin', stompin', can't sit still, get off your pants and dance good time. This is real country music: accept no substitutes!

Reviews:

"Dang! This is some twang. From the first galloping Telecaster notes, these five Bozeman fellows prove they're the real thing. Their web­site promises we'll get none of that "smarmy whiny country that comes out of Nashville these days." They're right. What we get is some good old honky-tonk, true to country's roots.

Trucks, broken hearts, runnin' from the law, booze. It's all here, wrapped up in searing guitar licks and cookin' bass and drums. Throw in excellent lead singing by at least three voices and you've got twang in a big way. Besides, any band featuring killer pedal steel is worth listening to in my book."

The most “country” country western band in Montana, www.Twang mix up classic country covers with equally classic originals and the chops to carry it off. The solo work by steel guitarist Sandy Dodge and new lead guitarist Jim Lewis shine throughout, but with five singers in the band, the vocal harmonies are the frosting on the cake. With their second release, this Bozeman-based band leans more on originals by member Buck Buchanan. And that’s a good thing.
