cowboy mouth

The phrase “Cowboy Mouth” typically is defined as “one with a loud and raucous voice,” and the term fits perfectly as the name of the best rock band ever from New Orleans, LA. This is especially true for their legendary live performances that have been described as celebratory, life-affirming experiences possessing the ability to change lives. And if you haven’t witnessed the live revival Cowboy Mouth concert experience, it’s vital that you get tickets for the 10th Annual Alzheimer’s Music Fest coming up on Saturday February 4th at the Buckhead Theatre! We’re fired up to talk with Louisiana Music Hall of Famer, Cowboy Mouth Creator and Lead Drummer-Singer, the one and only - Mr. Fred LeBlanc! Welcome to Braves Country!

In our final week of Gothtober, your fiendish-yet-friendly ghouls bring you an episode all about bands playing other bands' songs! These happen to be familiar songs that you hear at every HALLOWEEN party this time of year! Most of these are in the mainstream pop world… scary!!! However, what vile and twisted interpretations can be made by our rock n’ punk n’ metal ambassadors??? Listen if you dare…

What is it we do here at InObscuria? Every show Kevin opens the crypt to exhume and dissect from his personal collection; an artist, album, or collection of tunes from the broad spectrum of rock, punk, and metal. Robert is forced to test his endurance and provide feedback, as he has no idea what he will be subjected to every week. Our hope is that we turn you on to something that was lost on your ears, or something you've simply forgotten about, or that (in our opinion) should have been the next big thing.

Songs this week include:

1. Pulley – “Grim Grinning Ghosts (Disney’s Haunted Mansion)” from Punk Rock Halloween, Vol. 2: Louder, Faster & Scarier(2019)
2. Doctor Smoke – “Trick Or Treat (Fastway)” from Trick Or Treat - Single (2021) 
3. Punchline – “Ghostbusters (Ray Parker Jr.)” from Punk Rock Halloween, Vol. 2: Louder, Faster & Scarier(2019)
4. Strung Out – “Bark At The Moon (Ozzy Osbourne)” from Punk Goes Metal (2000)
5. Linger – “Zombie (The Cranberries)” from Linger EP (2005)
6. Tsunami Bomb – “Dead Man’s Party (Oingo Boingo)” fromPunk Rock Halloween, Vol. 2: Louder, Faster & Scarier(2019)
7. Chuck Billy – “Thriller (Michael Jackson)” from Metal Thriller (2013)
8. Dash Rip Rock – “Man Of Constant Sorrow (The Soggy Bottom Boys)” from Hee Haw Hell (2007)

This week we leave you pondering: these genres that can’t possibly be real; right? Humans love to organize and put things in categories. Music is no different. When someone asks about a band or song they ask you what it sounds like. You can either give them a generic term (rock, punk, metal), refer to another band or artist, or provide them with an oddly specific categorization like psychedelic operatic speed ska… Or something like that!

What’s this InObscuria thing? We’re a podcast that exhumes obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal and puts them in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. This episode deals more with the Lost… Genres and sub-genres that are truly unique and oddly specific. We hope we turn you on to something new!

Songs this week include:

1. Dirty Rig – “Just A Star” from Rock Did It (2006)
2. Raging Slab – “The Shield” from Assmaster (1987)
3. Valient Thorr – “Stormstris” from Legend Of The World (2006)
4. Dash Rip Rock – “Jenny Says” from Ace Of Clubs (1989)
5. 2 Skinnee J’s - “Mind Trick” from ¡$Uper! Mercado (1998)
6. 16 Horsepower – “Haw” from 16 Horsepower (1995)
7. Boris – “Pink” from Pink (2009)

There's nothing more totally "New Orleans" than poboys, drag queens, and Cowboy Mouth. That's why, till we can go back in bars and hang out, Happy Hour photographer Jill Lafleur picks this show as her favorite from the past few years to revisit.

Drag Queens

Poppy Tooker is New Orleans first lady of food. From her weekly TV appearances on Steppin’ Out to to her weekly radio show and podcast, Poppy is the best known foodie in the city. Poppy’s latest venture is a collaboration with a large group of drag queens to produce a strong of drag queen brunches around town, culminating in her 6th book, simply called Drag Queen Brunch. You could have found out any of this information in any New Orleans publication. What you won’t have heard anywhere but here is the explanation to this sentences Poppy utters by way of her current situation: “I’m not dead and I’m not knocked up.”

Cowboy Mouth

Fred LeBlanc is the larger than life front man of the band Cowboy Mouth. If you’ve ever been to a Cowboy Mouth show or heard any of Fred’s media appearances you have probably thought Fred’s life is an open book. Well, there might be a couple of chapters of the book you hadn’t heard about. Probably doubtful that you’ve heard Fred’s opinions on marriage or cross-dressing anywhere else. Or known anything about his relationship to the Poboy shop, Melba’s Po Boys.

Poboys

Scott Wolfe Sr is the owner of Melba’s Po Boy Shop, on the corner of North Claiborbne and Elysian Fields, the busiest Po Boy shop in the world. Scott is also the owner of the wildly successful local New Orleans grocery chain, Wagner’s. Yes, he’s the marketing genius who came up with the slogan “You can’t beat Wagner’s Meat.” Scott’s extraordinary flair for marketing can be found in full display at Melba’s where they’re open 24 hours a day, have a giant laundromat where each machine is named and themed for a local New Orleans celebrity – you can wash your clothes in the Fred LeBlanc machine for example – and a 24/7 daiquiri shop. 

This Happy Hour is a classic no-holds-barred conversation with people who are comfortable in their own skin and not hesitant about telling it like it is.

If you’d like to see Jill Lafleur’s photos from this show recorded live at Wayfare,  you’ll find them along with much more right here.
