The Ramblin' Ambassadors debut album, "Avanti" was released by Vancouver's Mint Records. In the 1990s, instrumental spaghetti western surf band Huevos Rancheros ruled Calgary's robust garage rock scene. Led by guitar whiz Brent J. Cooper, the band was the pride of Cowtown, but the band's run came to an end in 2001 when Huevos officially called it quits. Now Cooper is back with his new band and a new album. Picking up where Huevos Rancheros left off, Cooper takes obvious cues from past work yet he steers the Ramblin' Ambassadors in a different direction from the now-defunct Huevos Rancheros, one that is reminiscent of the Ventures, Calexico, and Ennio Morricone–all without uttering a syllable. The Ramblin' Ambassadors' music CD "Avanti" is available from TheAvantiStore™.
