Les Cowboys Fringants (or the dashing cowboys, for those non French speakers among us) are a Neo-traditional Montreal rock folk band. Honestly, it's less pretentious then it sounds. Littered with such fun instruments as mandolins, accordions, banjo's, and double basses, they are mostly unplugged and acoustic, but still manage to rock harder then the majority of their electric counterparts. Their music ranges from incredibly cheerful and downright poppy (but in a good way), to morose and drawn out, to just plain epic. Apparently, their lyrics are rather controversial and political (at least to Canadians), but as its all in French the meaning rather went over my head. Check them out and enjoy!
