Ever wonder what would happen if the Neville Brothers and The Clash had a baby? Me neither, but according to Fred Le Blanc, it would be Cowboy Mouth.
Shirley and I are going to see Cowboy Mouth at the House of Blues Wednesday night. Also playing will be Bonerama, a New Orleans Brass Funk Rock Band and the Zion Harmonizers! Buy your tickets here and join us!
Fred Le Blanc of Cowboy Mouth demands that the audience joins in the fun. He will curse you, scream at you, and berate you until you are screaming at the top of your lungs and going crazy. I can’t wait to hear the two songs they wrote after Katrina. Paul Sanchez, who lost his home during the flood, will sing Home and Le Blanc will sing The Avenue, a song about several streets in New Orleans. I’m sure tears will be shed as we sing the chorus of Jenny Says—
Jenny says turn off the radio
Jenny says turn off the light
Jenny says turn off the video
You beat yourself up to bring yourself down
Let it go, let it go, let it go!
Let it go, let it go, let it go!
When the world keeps coming down on me
I let it go!
It’s amazing to see Le Blanc sing his lungs out and play the drums like a madman at the same time! I think Cowboy Mouth is the best live band I’ve ever seen.
According to Cake magazine, their live performances can be described like this: “…on a bad night they’ll tear the roof off the joint and on a good night, they’ll save your soul.”
