Finally, after an intermission, Billy Cowsill will jump onstage and the Codependents will take over. "That's our party band," Pineo says. "the emphasis for the Codependents is a little bit of original tunes, but mostly of songs come from 1955 to 1965 with a few exceptions. It covers the gamut from rock to pop to country. It's Billy's favourite music and it's really up there with my favourite kind of music. It's kind of a restoration project; we work really hard to make it sound authentic."
The Codependents are a big hit in Cowtown. Their live disc, simply titled Live Recording Event, has been the top seller at the Megatunes Records Store for over 14 weeks. The disc was recorded at the Mecca, a small BBQ joint just outside of Calgary. "Billy dropped in there for bacon and eggs one day," Pineo explains, "and the owner knew who he was, had a guitar and said, 'If yu sing me a song I'll buy you breatfast.' And then he started doing some casual appearances there - no, no, not for the food - and it just kind of turned into a southern BBQ place with music."
