COWTOWN + Special Guests

QU A RR Y is delighted to present an evening with Leeds DIY digipunk heros Cowtown for their first headline set at the venue. Support from Lynskey & more TBA

COWTOWN ||| Initially seeking an antidote to a perceived over earnestness amongst the Leeds post-hardcore scene they called home; and formed out of a desire to fill LS6 residential basements with party starting punk rock, Cowtown have outlasted those early peers and sweaty basement hangouts to spend a decade as one of the strongest pulses to circulate the city’s DIY community’s beating heart. Ultimately a triumph of durability amidst a broader UK scene that feels increasingly breathless, Cowtown’s sound grows ever more defiant with each passing a year, their shows - a celebration of music making sans the surface level aspiration and over-the-shoulder trend watching of bands who’ve lasted a fraction of their existence. “We’re still the same old dorks out for adventure and good times,” Nash says. “We’re not exactly cool, in fact we’re through being cool, but we love playing together and our friendship is beyond blood brother tight so it’s unlikely we’ll stop unless we run out of ideas or our limbs/organs/mind pack in on us.”
