Bar band from the 1989 action thriller Road House featuring Patrick Swayze (not the 2024 remake featuring Jake Gyllenhaal). Cody's Band is the house band of the Double Deauce in Jasper, Missouri, a roadhouse that attracts a particularly violent crowd and is described by the blind singer, guitarist and band leader Cody as "a toilet". Cody's band plays behind chicken wire to protect them from the bottles regularly thrown at them by drunken customers.
