Cowbois Rhos Botwnnog

Imagine the Beach Boys if they weren’t from California or maybe if Phoenix weren’t the cool French kids from Versailles. There's something comforting in the knowledge that Cowbois Rhos Botwnnog hail from a tiny village amid the rolling countryside of the Llyn peninsula, Wales.

A tight four piece from the Bala area who play alt rock music with a hint of blues.

Indie rock band favoured by John Peel. While comparisons with Catatonia were inevitable, Welsh indie pop band Melys plough a more graceful, measured furrow, producing a sound like St. Etienne but with tougher guitars.
