Cowtown - Gringo Record's dynamic post-punk/indie rock from Leeds
Cowtown deal in tight, lean, joyous post-punk for our times. Music with an emphasis on positive expression and confronting collective anxieties, cemented with live shows that focused on only what they enjoy and discarding the rest. Serrated guitar hooks cut through the air with razor-sharp precision; glottal vocals ricochet off a marauding low-end that’s part Vice City soundtrack, part Devo-gone-disco; no second feels wasted, no element superfluous.
The ebullient trio of David Michael Shields (drums), Hilary Knott (keybass/vocals) and Jonathan Nash (guitar/vocals) remain econo, dynamic and over stimulated after over 20+ years in the field. They’ve played with practically everyone; from Thee Oh Sees, Jon Spencer, Lightning Bolt, Le Savy Fav, Quasi, Death Sentence Panda, Chad VanGaalen, Deerhoof and Ponytail, to more unexpected supports for the likes of Afrikan Boy, Maximo Park, Future Islands and Wolf Alice. They’ve lost track of how many Marc Riley sessions they’ve performed and easily hold the record for the most played shows at Leeds local hotspot The Brudenell Social Club.
“If memory serves me right, I first saw Cowtown around the mid two-thousands – back when they all wore matching jumpers and had just released their excitable debut album, Pine-Cone Express. Cowtown have survived as they really are doing this for all the right reasons: namely they love music and enjoy making a racket together. I had the pleasure of seeing them at The Brudenell Social Club recently and – my gawd – they’re still absolute dynamite. The dynamic trio never seem to get the plaudits they truly deserve yet it’s immensely reassuring to know they’re still out there doing their thing. With love, friendship and enthusiasm, the trio are interwoven into the very fabric of the underground music scene. Viva la Cowtown!”
