Cowtown 'Paranormal Romance 10th Anniversary' + Objections + Territorial Gobbing

Raising money for Leeds Asylum Seekers Network. https://lassn.org.uk/ Formed in Leeds in 2005, but like Gang Of Four, born in a variety of other places, Cowtown are made up by David Michael Shields (drums), Hilary Knott (keybass/vocals) and Jonathan Nash (guitar/vocals) and play econo, dynamic, over-stimulated rock music that embraces a heavily abridged history of rock n' roll. Serious about fun, the band are a firm favourite of BBC 6 DJ Mark Riley, performing music with an emphasis on positive expression and confronting collective anxieties, creating live shows that focus on what they enjoy and discarding the rest. Picking up from 2013's Dudes Vs. Bad Dudes (released by TAAE and the band's own label City Hands) their latest offering is wildly economic, clocking in at 23 mins across 12 tracks. Drawing influences from bands like The Coneheads, Devo and The Breeders, as well as films such as Teen Wolf and Ghostbusters, songs are later distilled into their absolute fundamentals. It's not about what they want but what they need, with the delivery being as urgent and tightly wound as possible. Paranormal Romance encompasses the centralised DIY affair that Cowtown have come to epitomise as one of the longest running bands to come from the LS6 area. Jamming econo, recording econo and propelling themselves econo.
