"Click click, bang bang, and you're never gonna be the same." Miss Derringer had me at 'bang'.
Those are the opening words off of Miss Derringer's brilliant upcoming album Winter Hill.
Miss Derringer fronted by Liz McGrath has always had a small cult following in their hometown of Los Angeles often seen playing at Sunset venues such as The Viper Room.
Although the band hasn't found much mainstream success, this year will hopefully be different with the release of Winter Hill, a fusion of post-punk cabaret and sixties alt-twang.
Depending on who you ask, Elizabeth McGrath may be better known as an underground art sculptor and diorama maker than frontwoman of a band with many of her art works on exhibit in various galleries around the country.
Miss Derringer is currently on a national tour with Girl in a Coma through the end of July which means plenty of new fan exposure to the band's unique vision of part-time-indie-goth performance rock.
