Their music is highly forgettable and no one in the civilized world needs to actually own a Cowboy Mouth album, but seeing the live show is worth the $5 or whatever it must cost to get into an event as illustrious as "Rib Fest."

Actually, I think Rib Fest is free. The ribs costs about $25 per, but you can walk in and enjoy music without paying a dime. I saw Cowboy Mouth once in my life, so I have apparently met the minimum requirement for this show. I was not a big fan of the music, but the dude with the really loud drums does put on a show.

As for Big Head Todd, that's worth seeing, too.

I actually got dragged to this show once. I think someone convinced me that the place would be packed with nubile spinning hippie chicks. All I remember is being in a sea of 22 year old, backwards cap-wearing, recently ex-frat guys. I cannot even begin to convey the depth of disappointment that I felt.
