on Saturday, May 1 at Durty Nellie's in Palatine. The event is from 6 to 9pm 
so it's a great opportunity to catch The Cowbirds at an earlier hour, and benefit a great cause. Your $20 donation all goes directly to the American Cancer Society, and gets you in for two bands: The Cowbirds and Crooked Moon. Special prizes and other surprises also in store. We'll be playing new material alongside your Cowbird favorites, on a big stage in a great room for live music. More details for those of you on Facebook available at:

We have some great shows planned for the summertime... stay tuned! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11/10/09 Thanks to everyone who came out to the Battle of the Bands. We were thrilled and shocked to take down first place. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To kick things off, please highlight Saturday November 7th. The Cowbirds will be participating in the second annual District 15 Battle Of 
The Bands fundraiser at Durty Nellie's in Palatine. The show starts at 6pm and runs until 9 or so... an early evening and the perfect opportunity for a bite-sized sample of TCB. We will be playing four songs and doing our best to take first place. Last year we were the first band of the night and had finished before many of our people even arrived, so we were delighted to take second place, but this time we've got our eyes on the prize and we need your help: audience reaction is certainly a factor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Studio report: TCB have started work on our follow-up to Waylaid, and 
to date we've got six new originals in various states of completion, with more in the writing pipeline. If we had to guess we'd say look for a new 
full-length all-original CD by Spring 2010. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Join our Facebook group (click here).
