Cowboys, dude… I mean, if you get the whole cowboy hero thing right, that’s extremely awesome. These adventurous dudes traveling through the desert fighting for a better tomorrow (or maybe to actually survive until tomorrow), smoking a hand rolled cigarette in front of the fire, adjusting their cowboy hats and casually eating beans from the frying pan… what’s cooler, more iconic than that? Sergio Leone got that right, and so do Woodsy Pride, a Brooklyn based trio that plays some kind of haunted Western music with the songwriting skill of Neil Young and the maudit intensity of Nick Cave. These guys make me want to get a horse and a gun and head West – somewhere along the route, a gorgeous lady is waiting for me to save her. Woodsy Pride just released their debut EP on All Hands Electric with a show at Matchless on 11.01.
