The Midnight Cowgirls are pleased to herald their eponymous debut record with the song and video “Giddy Up.” With the exception of this song, the remaining tracks of Midnight Cowgirls are available only on vinyl through Licorice Pizza Records. Go here to order a vinyl copy.
The Midnight Cowgirls, an all-female four piece, are an electrifying mix of country, new wave, post-punk and rockabilly. The band are fronted by charismatic lead singer and guitarist Kandle Osborne and backed by two members of Eagles Of Death Metal; bassist Jennie Vee and drummer Leah Bluestein. Rex Elle rounds out the quartet on lead guitar.
The band started when Jennie Vee, a granddaughter of a tailor, was working on her summer tour wardrobe for a run of dates with Eagles of Death Metal. “I was taking inspiration from American Heritage ranch brands like H Bar C and the original rock n rollers like Wanda Jackson, Patsy Cline, and Elvis Presley for my looks. As I completed my black studded and fringed jumpsuit – and gave it the style name “Midnight Cowgirl” – it hit me. What makes the clothing “authentic” was the musical story behind it. I knew then I had to start a country inspired band and call it The Midnight Cowgirls.”
The finishing of the record and shooting the video in the desert was done in a whirlwind, drummer Bluestein recalls “I flew into LA and went straight to the Licorice Pizza studio to finish tracking drums for the record, then to a photoshoot, followed by a road trip to the desert fueled by Del Taco. The next morning, we had the most fun and dusty time getting to drive around the desert in a vintage convertible while jamming out to ‘Giddy Up’ for the music video!”
On top of the video and recording the band will set out on their first dates opening for the legendary rockabilly band The Stray Cats starting July 27.
Kandle Osborne sums up what it’s like to be a Midnight Cowgirl: “Driving through the dusty desert in our custom-made Jennie Vee outfits for our ‘Giddy Up’ video, we couldn’t help but feel we were living in a Tarantino movie! Our excitement and energy feels contagious! This band is pure talent, hard work and loads of love – we can’t wait to step on stage and blow the world away!”
