I believe it’s referring to a barn dance They were popular at the time of the strip, except in this case, the band booked a barn dance with actual barn animals. I think the drawing style looks different because this is an early one, 1981.
The top half is drawn completely different (looking like a classic far side) than the lower shaded half (looking more like an old cartoon). I’m sure the difference in drawing style has something to do with the joke, but I’m not sure how.
In the drawing, I don’t think that’s how Larson usually depicts cows and other animals, so I’m guessing there’s some media reference or context here that we don’t recognise or know.
I don’t really get it.

The show’s not their style.
Me neither…
