White Cowbell Oklahoma — Bombardero

By Cameron Gordon (CHARTattack) May 5, 2009 11:45 am

White Cowbell Oklahoma have always been first and foremost a live entity. After all, it's tough to nail down an audio equivalent to strippers, lubricants and other elements of WCO's stage show. Nonetheless, Bombardero is a solid effort any way you slice it and does a swell job of showcasing the band's absurd humour and love of dirty, dingy...

Cowbell XXXMas As Lewd As Ever

By John Papamarko (CHARTattack) December 22, 2008 2:44 pm

I'm covered in aborted baby blood, and I have only myself to blame. These are the hazards of the White Cowbell Oklahoma live experience. People near the front will get covered in every bodily fluid imaginable. Like the Edmonton Oilers of the '80s being forced to trade Wayne Gretzky, the band have dominated the CHARTattack CMW and NXNE report...

White Cowbell Oklahoma @ NXNE 2007

By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) June 9, 2007 12:30 pm

Background/Composition: It wasn't difficult to pick the members of White Cowbell Oklahoma out of the crowd prior to the show; they're huge cowboys. The nine-man guitar arsenal is intent on nothing less than world domination through country music and their bombastic live performances. I'd heard stories about Cowbell shows and frankly, hadn't...

White Cowbell Oklahoma — Viva Live Locos

By Aaron Brophy (CHARTattack) December 17, 2010 3:48 pm

It's hard to replicate the White Cowbell Oklahoma live show experience unless you regularly have hundreds of meth addicts and serial frottagists over to hang out in your apartment, but the 'Bell's first live record makes an admirable attempt to do so.Viva Live Locos was recorded during the band's 2006 appearance at the German weirdo gathering the...

Fifteen Things I Learned At White Cowbell Oklahoma's NXNE 2010 Show

By Adam Kovac (CHARTattack) June 22, 2010 11:33 am

I've got a White Cowbell Oklahoma record on my hard drive, and I listen to it now and again when I'm in the mood for some psychedelic Can-rock served up southern fried. I always think to myself how good it is and that I should probably get more of their stuff. Well, I dropped by the El Mocambo to catch their North By Northeast set, and let me...

By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) December 21, 2009 3:34 pm

White Cowbell: Cure For Swine Flu

By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) May 26, 2009 2:39 pm

White Cowbell Oklahoma's stage shows are booze-fueled punch-ups, replete with strippers, costumed villains, giant penises and cosmic ejaculate. But behind all the smoke and mirrors, the Toronto band just want to be taken seriously. Guitarist/vocalist Clem C. Clemsen hopes the band's recently released third album, Bombardero, will be the one that...

"Crazy" White Cowbell Tour Being Planned

White Cowbell Oklahoma

It's noon, but White Cowbell Oklahoma's Clem C. Clemsen is far from being awake enough to talk. "Can you give me 15 minutes?" Belonging to Toronto's most dangerous — and arguably most talented — brood of rock 'n' roll banditos probably translates into a lot of late nights. White Cowbell Oklahoma have been out in recent weeks flouting...

The bad news: White Cowbell have become deadly serious with their new album. The good news: Their "deadly serious" still means songs like "Polecat," "Piece Of The Action" and "Frankenstein" covers. What we mean by serious is that there are less songs about blow jobs and more about taking acid in the...

CMW Rewind: White Cowbell Oklahoma

By CHARTattack Staff March 9, 2009 2:23 pm

Digging into the CHARTattack video vaults, we find this little diddy with White Cowbell Oklahoma. CHARTattack's Aaron Brophy caught up with White Cowbell frontman Clem at CMW 2008 to hand-deliver a package from the suits at CHART. Valuable lesson of the day: when attending a White Cowbell show, come prepared — wear a raincoat.
