Westside Cowboy by Charlie Barclay Harris

Bilbao BBK Live organisers add more names to the event’s 20th anniversary line-up.

Calvin Harris and Westside Cowboy are new for this year’s Bilbao BBK Live event which will be held between July 9th-1tth.

They join previously confirmed main artists such as David Byrne, IDLES and Lily Allen, while others due there this summer include Alabama Shakes, Interpol and Soulwax.

Live4ever caught Westside Cowboy live in Bristol last month – finding a band deserving of their growing attention and seeming, ‘well placed to justify it’:

“The immediate impression is that, despite the band’s relative inexperience, they are at ease throughout, all casually chatting to audience members between songs but not to the detriment of the set.”

“At one point they admit to eating too close to stage time and O’Connell endearingly checks Haycocks’ teeth for food.”

That ease carries into the performance itself; during Drunk Surfer the band briefly pause so a guitar pedal can be adjusted, then pick the song straight back up without fuss. A band truly in control of a song propelled by Murphy’s thunderous drums.
