Leningrad Cowboys
Glastonbury Festival 2003 review

Tue 12th Aug 03



Glastonbury Festival Glastonbury Festival 2003

So my mates really like this lot & insist we're down at the Pyramid Stage for the crack of Sunday lunchtime. Sadists. Better be worth it....

Well, I give the Cowboys this - value for money for their fee. How many people on stage? How farcical are those psycho-skeletal suits? They have quiffs as long & pointy as the shoes on their feet, & that's 3 feet long. And dancing girls too.... Ah so the powder blue Cadillac convertible with hammer & sickle on the back must've been theirs then.

Ok, so it turns out they're a cover band, but they do it with imagination, wit & Russian folk riffs... & you don't get to say that very often. Oh & they believe in getting the audience involved, or in the case of the sour-faced accordion-playing Nick Cave look-a-like, getting involved in the audience.

Moment of the gig - big band introduction to the blues brothers' 'everybody' so everyone’s ready to sing and... they do Metallica's 'enter sandman' instead.
