There was good times at the Slice, Feb. 18 at the Slice thanks to White Cowbell Oklahoma’s special brand of beer, testosterone and chainsaw fueled, ear-bleeding mayhem. You wouldn’t know these high energy southern rockers were from Toronto if you hadn’t asked, as their deep southern fried riffs sounds like they come from down near in Florida or Georgia with the likes of Lynard Skynard or the Outlaws. They opened up their latest tour in Lethbridge, which was unusual as they usually end their tour here.
They pulled out all of the stops and stage moves, not only including selections from all of their CDs, but all of their favourite stage moves. They set a cowbell on fire, baptized most of the 50 people in the audience with Jägermeister and shredded rolls of toilet paper with a chainsaw.
But the live show is nothing without the music to back it up. So White Cowbell Oklahoma brought masses of energy, plenty of sweet triple harmonized lead guitars, a lot of huge, hook filled ’70s style guitar riffs and a few Pete Townsend style windmills some impressive three guitar harmonies and a lot of fun which left the crowd wanting more after a very brief hour and a half long set. They were called back for an encore, for which they brought most of the female members of the audience on stage with them to sing a southern rocker ‘Black Mountain Top (Whiskey Woman)’ with them, to bring an ear ringing set to a close just before midnight.
