Girl in a Coma’s cover of “Walking After Midnight” soundtracks a new brand film also titled “Walking After Midnight” for luxury shoe brand Stuart Weitzman directed by James Franco, which stars model Petra Němcová. Franco drew inspiration for the campaign from the 1989 cult classic film Mondo New York.

The song was also one of the key inspirations, “The song dictated that the events would take place at night, and the fact that it was a single walker helped shape the story into one of a mysterious woman who takes in the city during the heat of the night," says Franco. The film will be released in four parts on Stuart Weitzman’s Facebook page. The first installment premiered exclusively on New York Magazine’s The Cut. The cover first appeared on Girl in a Coma’s album Adventures in Coverland (Blackheart Records).

The band has just announced a free concert on Thursday, October 25 at 7:30 PM at Lincoln Center’s David Rubenstein Atrium. The show is part of Target Free Thursdays presented by Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and is presented in collaboration with the Independent Music Awards.

The band will also kick off their North American Fall tour with Minus the Bear this month in support of their latest album, Exits & All the Rest (Blackheart Records) which was voted one of NPR’s Top 50 Albums of 2011 and which New York Magazine declared “Life affirming, cranked up rock and roll”.
