Wow,those guys were wild.Saw em play in a very small club in morgantown.The one dude played 2 very wild sounding horns at once and I won't even go into the haircut.Them and Butthole Surfers were cut from the same cloth me thinks.
The only logical thing I could think of while watching The Cows play were literally cows grazing in a field with their utters swinging back and forth. That band was crazy as hell.
fuckin work monster made me miss that show! :mad:

Haven't been to too many Black Cat shows but the one that stands out for mutual band/crowd energy would be Ash earlier this year
d plan, the second night this past december
matt pond, feb 2002
and cinerama and delgados this year. esp delgados because it was birthday and i was trying to give away cupcakes from cakelove to the band!
The Friday night show of Frank Black and the Catholics on their latest fall tour, absolutely the most ROCK show I've seen him put on, and I've seen him 12 times. Second is the Drive-by Truckers.
Cursive - all three shows this year have been great, but this last one with the Blood Brothers was the best.
Also - New Pornographers, Ted Leo, Neko Case.
Afghan Whigs…old
Liquid Soul…old
The Dictators…new
The Hives…new
Morphine
