The Midnight Cowgirls are thrilled to announce the release of their debut record, highlighted by the song and video Giddy Up. This all-female band, featuring two members from Eagles of Death Metal, delivers a captivating blend of country, new wave, post-punk, and rockabilly. With their eponymous debut album available exclusively on vinyl through Licorice Pizza Records, fans can experience their unique sound in a classic format.
Fronted by the charismatic lead singer and guitarist Kandle Osborne, and backed by bassist Jennie Vee and drummer Leah Bluestein from Eagles of Death Metal, alongside lead guitarist Rex Elle, the band brings a powerful and energetic presence. Jennie Vee shares the inspiration behind the band:
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.
Kandle Osborne elaborates on their vision:
We wanted to write a record that not only showcases just how incredible this entourage of powerful ladies are, but also dive into a genre that’s different from our respective backgrounds and fully embrace country music and the message of friendship, girl power, and independence.
Drummer Leah 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!
Guitarist Rex Elle shares:
Being a part of the Midnight Cowgirls has been an empowering experience with the collaboration of an immensely talented and supportive group of gals.
The video for “Giddy Up,” filmed in the desert, adds a vibrant visual element to their music.
The Midnight Cowgirls will kick off their tour with The Stray Cats on July 27, bringing their electrifying performances to stages across the country.
