About Me

Cow Boris founded legendary Houston punk band Dead Yeti in 1990, sifting through 28 members and reforming twice over a 13 year period.Upon the 2003 disappearance of Dead Yeti's drummer, Bookworm, Mr. Boris decided to put the band on hiatus and focus on his long-awaited solo album, "Human Head Pizza."A five-year winner for Best Houston Vocalist (Dead Yeti was a 4 time winner for Best Houston Band, while their hit song 'Squishball' was Best Song in 1991), Cow Boris is no stranger to critical acclaim, and is excited to be the North By Northeast Saturday night headliner in Toronto this June."It's really an honor that they want me to play period," Mr. Boris said from his palacial New York estate. "Hopefully they can round out the bill with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club or Sufjan Stevens. I think it's what the people want, and I guess that is important.""Human Head Pizza" deals with themes of loss ('Bloodbath Birdcage'), suffering ('Tracheautomatic Nutball'), and obsession ('You Know Where You Can Put That Meat [Meat]'), through 10 songs that run the musical gamut of classical to baby music.Absurdist Punk for the new millenium. Dead Yeti proudly presents Mr. Cow Boris.
