MY RUIN: Video For Cover Of RICK DERRINGER's 'Rock & Roll Hoochie Koo' Posted Online

March 23, 2009

Los Angeles-based hard rock band MY RUIN has posted a new video for its cover of the RICK DERRINGER's "Rock & Roll Hoochie Koo". The clip was created by Tor Burrows and Ryan Dean-Corke of Acid Pie Productions and the footage was shot of MY RUIN at Rio's in Leeds and TJ's in Newport during the band's "ReligiosiTour" of the U.K. in late 2008.

According to lead screamer Tairrie B, MY RUIN chose to cover the classic tune because Mick Murphy (MY RUIN guitarist and Tairrie's husband) is a huge fan of Rick Derringer and turned her onto his music years ago. "We actually went to see the reunion tour featuring the original line up of DERRINGER last year when they played L.A." she said. "It was killer and although [obviously] what I do is very different vocally on stage, we thought it would be a good time to cover one of our favorite tunes and kinda change up a few words here and there for fun during the last tour. Not a lot of people seemed to know about Rick Derringer in the U.K., so every night I would say a little something about him before we played it and suddenly kids who were coming to more than one show were singing along with me and asking about him after the set. When the tour was over, many of our fans went onto YouTube and checked him out and let us know how much they really liked his music, which I thought was pretty cool."

She added, "We have some very talented fans who are very passionate about our band and music in ways that never cease to amaze us. The duo that filmed and edited our new video also created two other live videos for MY RUIN — 'Me Without You' and 'Slide You The Horn' [which appears on the enhanced CD of new live album/DVD 'Alive On The Other Side', released last year on our imprint label Rovena Recordings label via Cargo Records U.K. and Redeye USA]."
