About the Band

The Bones are a Las Vegas-based rock & roll band, featuring Patrick Vitagliano (Nuclear Theory, a Nuclear Assault spinoff with John Connelly), Jeff Duncan (Armored Saint/Odin), Sean Koos (Joan Jett & The Blackhearts) and Shon McKee (Crashing Wayward).

With 4 full-length original albums under their belt, their music has been described as feel-good rock and roll, with a witty and sarcastic lyrical spin that is refreshing these days when so many bands take themselves so seriously. 

Their tongue-in-cheek live show is a high energy set that often includes rock/metal covers of some of the most unexpected pop-songs that were NEVER intended to rock, (covering Abba, Devo, Duran Duran, Blondie, The Go-Go's, Cyndi Lauper, etc…The Bones have released 2 double-live albums of these twisted covers), yet somehow, ends up being one of the most memorable, good-time rock shows you'll see in Las Vegas.

Paper Cowboy is frontman Patrick Vitagliano’s parallel original music project, focused on songs that lean more toward Nashville, Americana, and Southern Rock influences.

While The Bones remains rooted in its signature rock sound, some songs naturally pull in a different direction. Paper Cowboy was created to give those songs a dedicated home and allow that side of the songwriting and creativity to fully develop on its own terms.
