Lure Out Their Inner Party Monsters
In Halloween-Themed Video “Trick Or Treat”

OCTOBER 29, 2024 (Los Angeles, CA) – “If there’s a plot line for this video, I wish someone would let me know,” laughs infamous New Wave icon JOSIE COTTON about her new video “TRICK OR TREAT” that co-stars Kevin Preston of Prima Donna and currently playing guitar in Green Day. Cohesive narrative or not, when Josie’s around, a storyline isn’t necessary. Concurs Kevin, “Playing dress up with Josie Cotton is always a blast…I got to be Frankenstein. Enough said!”

The Halloween-themed video for the ‘50s-style cover of Chuck Berry’s holiday classic stars the pair in different costumes (be sure to check out the extra pair of legs on Josie’s hot pink get up!) while they duet to the spooky tune. “Making the video was more like an insanely fun trainwreck, moving between worlds,” she smirks. “And let’s face it, monsters are just better at parties.”

Filmed at Kitten Robot Studios in Los Angeles, CA and directed by Kent Holmes, the video is the latest in a string of new music from the New Wave glitzy glamor queen. Having reclaimed her music from the out-of-print archives of multiple record labels and re-releasing them on her own Kitten Robot Records, Josie Cotton has recaptured much of the rowdy party fun she embodied in the past while also rejuvenating her prolific musical artistry. In the last handful of years alone, Josie has re-released her catalog including her critically acclaimed albums Pussycat Babylon, Movie Disaster Music, Invasion of the B-Girls, Frightened By Nightingales, Everything Is Oh Yeah, From the Hip, and her breakthrough record Convertible Music.

With “Trick or Treat” as her latest creation, she plans to keep her legacy of decade-jumping music retroactively fresh and fun.  “Hopefully we’ve made a perennial Halloween song you can’t get out of your head, whether you like it or not,” she laughs.

Trick Or Treat” features guest vocals from Kevin Preston (Green Day, Prima Donna, Long Shot) and is available now via Kitten Robot for your imminent Halloween festivities and beyond on Spotify,  Apple MusicDeezerPandora and YouTube.
