An all-female band based in Austin with a terrifically descriptive name, Sheverb, recently released a new music video that partially was shot on Route 66.
The video is titled “Thunder Lizard.” The instrumental wouldn’t sound out-of-place on the “Pulp Fiction” soundtrack.
In a news release, Sheverb stated the video was shot at Classical Gas, the petroliana museum in Embudo, New Mexico, owned by longtime Route 66 advocate Johnnie Meier.
The video also includes scenery along Route 66. The band also played in venues in Albuquerque and Amarillo, including the historic Golden Light Cantina in the latter.
A newspaper described the band in this way:
They are Betty Benedeadly, Xina Ocasio and Fern Rojas, who bring together the guitar twang of spaghetti westerns, the driving rhythms of krautrock and the confident swagger of blues.
More Sheverb videos can be seen on its YouTube channel. The band’s music can be heard on Bandcamp and other major streaming sites.
