We’re pleased to bring you the premiere of Miss Derringer’s music video for “Nobody to Come” (watch it below). The track is taken from the band’s The Shadow EP, which was released on Valentine’s Day through Wild Bill Records and can now be purchased digitally via Amazon or iTunes.
The video was shot on a 100-degree day in the desert near Mojave and features singer Liz McGrath’s and guitarist Morgan Slade’s daughter, Sadie Valentine.
Miss Derringer guitarist/songwriter Morgan Slade comments on the video:
“At one point when we were working on the EP, we were joking around and wondering how long Miss Derringer’s music might last. Someone suggested it would be funny if at some point in a post-apocalyptic future, some small group of surviving humans stumbled upon some old Miss Derringer videos and wondered, ‘What the hell is this all about?’ And that’s how the idea for the video came about!”
Miss Derringer, fronted by singer and acclaimed visual artist Liz McGrath, recently returned to the studio with many long-time friends, fans and former collaborators lending a hand to help conjure up an intriguing blend of fresh, new tracks. Drummer Clem Burke and guitarist Frank Infante, both Rock & Roll Hall of Fame members who contributed to a string of Blondie hits, punk legend Cheetah Chrome of the Dead Boys, former Social Distortion drummer Derek O’Brien, as well as guitarists Jimmy Wilsey (The Avengers/Chris Isaak) and Danny B. Harvey (The Head Cat/The Rockats) all contributed their considerable talents to the EP. Founding Miss Derringer members Morgan Slade (guitar) and Sylvain de Muizon (bass) join singer McGrath on all the tracks, and former Miss Derringer members Lightnin’ Bill Woodcock (guitar) and Cody James (drums) deliver indispensable contributions as well.
Always known for their unique ability to blend classic blues, country, rockabilly, pop, punk, goth and alternative influences, Miss Derringer’s sound was aptly described by one reviewer as “Johnny Cash meets Blondie.” And the band touches all the bases on The Shadow EP. From the desperate, gothic feel of the opening track, “Nobody To Come,” to the honky-tonk stomp of “Trainwreck Blues,” from “The Shadow,” inspired by the Shangri-Las and their producer Shadow Morton (who repeatedly threatened to work with the band only to then disappear), to the dark and eerie “Return of the Shadow” (with Cheetah Chrome as the voice of the Shadow), from their haunting cover of the classic “Unchained Melody” to their aggressive, super-charged version of the Misfits’ “Die Die My Darling,” the band doesn’t miss a beat on this new EP.
