This show is 21+ Sat., 9/5/26 Legendary Stardust Cowboy (79th bday gala), Durty Whyte Boots, Girls with Guns, DJ Mitch Cardwell 7:00pm, $10 adv., $12 door LEGENDARY STARDUST COWBOY Norman Carl Odam, know professionally as the Legendary Stardust Cowboy, is considered one of the pioneers of the genre that came to be known as psychobilly in the 1960s. "A true rock & roll primitive even wilder than cult legend Hasil Adkins, the Legendary Stardust Cowboy played a crude brand of rockabilly obsessed with the Wild West and science fiction, and filled with vocal effects ranging from rebel yells and war whoops to a startling array of animal noises. Norman Carl Odam was born in Lubbock, TX, in 1947; a shy and eccentric child, he began developing his idiosyncratic vocal style at age 14, soon started guitar lessons, and also taught himself bugle and harmonica, among other instruments. Odam became notorious for performing in public spaces -- every morning on the steps of his high school, on the roof of his car near local drive-in restaurants and hangouts, at parties he wasn't invited to -- and attracted a mixture of affection and harassment. After high school, he traveled to California hoping to land television bookings, but found no takers; upon returning to Lubbock, he worked in a warehouse while playing occasional gigs at honky tonks, where audiences were frequently hostile (often assuming he was a hippie making fun of country music).” - All Music DURTY WHYTE BOOTS The Durty Whyte Boots are: Durty Chow Mein, Durty Birdie, Durty Honey Bunny, Durty Daisy Yumessy / garage r&b punk girl band! https://www.instagram.com/thedurtywhyteboots/ GIRLS WITH GUNS https://soundcloud.com/user-21444684
