SUMMARY:Westside Cowboy at Scala - Wednesday 28th January 2026 - 7:00 pm un
 til 10:15 pm 
DESCRIPTION:Westside Cowboy sound new but seem to come from an old place. S
 urrounded by 1978 Fender Twin Reverbs\, well-thumbed Wem catalogues\, a fo
 ur-track recorder and spools of cassette tape the Manchester four-piece ar
 e made up of Aoife Anson O’Connell\, James (Jimmy) Bradbury\, Paddy Murp
 hy and Reuben Haycocks. With a sound raw as a carpet burn\, they ride a th
 rilling lo-fi boxcar tuned to the melodic precision of Teenage Fanclub and
  held together with the slacker cool of Pavement. For most bands this woul
 d be enough\, but not for Westside Cowboy. Just when you think you have th
 em pinned\, they career the entire thing into a brick wall of country\, tr
 ad and early harmony coated\, major-key rock’n’roll. They call this pr
 ocess ‘Britainicana’. A portmanteau of the band’s own making to desc
 ribe Amer- ican culture digested by English people in small towns with alm
 ost nothing in the way of cosmopolitan sheen. “Think kids in double deni
 m and Converse eating Greggs vegan sausage rolls.” It’s alarming and e
 xhilarating in equal measures and marks them out as a band perpetually on 
 the verge of losing con- trol but having too good a time to notice the smo
 ke screaming out from under the wheels.
