🎧 Episode 252 – Cowgirl Pills

In this episode of The Popko Project, I’m joined by Dylan and Eilish—better known as Cowgirl Pills, the rising DJ duo who’ve taken NEPA by storm.

We chat about their whirlwind journey from bedroom DJs to booking 75+ gigs in less than a year, including clubs, weddings, First Friday events, and even the Steamtown Music Awards—where they won Best New Artist 🏆.

We dive into:
-The unexpected origin of the name “Cowgirl Pills” (hint: autocorrect was involved)
-How a Fallout Boy concert and a beginner controller launched their DJ career -Building a full-time entertainment business from scratch
-The local venues and communities that gave them their start
-Their unique tag-team DJ style and favorite late-night eats 🍕
-The evolving nightlife scene in NEPA (and some hilarious tangents on social media, parenting, and the Jersey Shore)

If you love good vibes, hustle, and a dose of reality with your house beats, this episode’s for you.
