Come Get Some Cowbell

White Cowbell Oklahoma roll through hometown Toronto tonight at Lee's Palace. It's not for the faint of heart. With 4 guitars, a redneck attitude and their own bartender onstage, you don't get a concert, you get THE SHOW. The 3 or 4 shows I've seen them have involved:
  • hard Southern fried rock
  • my first sighting of Accordion Guy and the infamous hottub truck
  • Japanese school girls riding a mechanical bull
  • chainsaw pumpkin carving
  • Elvis wrestling a Yeti
  • Jesus wrestling Satan
  • power tools
  • being pelted with Kentucky Fried Chicken
  • plenty of female and male nudity (one of the guitarists likes to drop trou commando style)
Yeah, it gets weird, but it's never boring. Rowdy, offensive, loud, funny, lewd, crude, but never boring. For the next week you'll have a story to tell. Want more? Slideshow here from a recent show.

Offended? Only if you're the type who cuts the crust off your sandwiches 'cause it hurts your gums. Wanna prove you ain't no mama's boy, that you can handle your liquor, that you ain't no namby pamby wussy crybaby? Come get some cowbell.

White Cowbell Oklahomaaaaaaa! @ Torontoist
