"...written and detonated with the study and delight of modern rock 'n roll women in constant touch with their inner filly."
-David Fricke, Rolling Stone
"Norwegian devil dolls" (Rolling Stone) Cocktail Slippers honor the late, great songwriter Ellie Greenwich in their new video for "Don't Ever Leave Me," co-written by Greenwich and Jeff Barry. It's one of twelve dazzling and uncompromising tracks on the group's latest album 'Saint Valentine's Day Massacre' (out now, Wicked Cool Records).
In the video, Cocktail Slippers' Modesty Blaze, Rocket Queen, Bella Donna, Squirrel, Sugar Cane, and Liberty shimmy, shake, and gloss their pouts alongside black and white footage of their girl group predecessors.
