Bloodcow

w/ Back When, Black Skies, & The Clincher

Omaha’s infamous five-piece Bloodcow blends elements of old school punk, NWOBHM, and, as their name implies, loud-as-fuck, drag-you-squealing-through-sludge rock n’roll. With an uncommon attention to material (memorable melodies, guitar and vocal harmonies, odd time signatures…) and an unforgettable emphasis on delivery—stick twirling, leg kicking, power sliding—Bloodcow is absolutely refreshing in the modern, live metal scene. 2007 marks the year of their third, full-length release, Bloodcow III: Hail Xenu, a ten-track campaign through Viking barges and cult classic horrors, drenched in bewitching myths and cosmic lore. Bloodcow has toured the midwest and east coast over the past two years but will focus on the midwest and southwest for 2007 and early 2008, leaving in their wake Austin, Texas’ “South by Southwest.” You can’t spot the five members of Bloodcow looking for young kids with expensive haircuts or flamboyant clothes. Bloodcow, when you’re looking for them, are the five assholes hauling their own gear, asking about the nearest place with some cheap, cold beer.
