In the Valley
“I will weep like the willow
That weeps in the valley,
I’ll be lonesome until you return”

DEAP VALLY
deapvally.com
The lovely ladies of Deap Vally released their American Cockroach EP last month.
Deap Vally explain that the EP is, “a collection of songs we’ve been working on for a while that run the gamut from deeply personal, to outright satire and everything in between. These are songs for the underdog, the outlaw, the defeated, for days when you feel like no one understands you or you can’t do anything right.”
The EP came out at a time when the duo (Lindsey Troy and Julie Edwards) was forced to leave the touring world, no thanks to the pandemic.
We think they’re best experienced at a live show.
The last time we saw them, it was at Desert Daze in Oct 2017: “Female 80’s inspired rock duo Deap Vally, with Lindsey Troy and Julie Edwards, played in the Wright Tent and man can these girls wail. These two ladies met in a crochet class in Silverlake, CA. Their riff-heavy album of ’16 Femejism is as sexy as a Joan Jett album with the rock glitter of the Black Keys mixed with the White Stripes, and the band has played alongside artists like The Vaccines, Muse and Marilyn Manson. Gonna Make My Own Money was the highlight and Lindsey was doing backbends with her guitar towards the crowd. Bad For My Body was also a heavy hit of grunge and distortion from this duo.”

Crane is very excited to head back on tour, starting this August.

DEATH VALLEY GIRLS
facebook.com/DeathValleyGirls
Suicide Squeeze Records will be re-issuing Death Valley Girls’ album Glow In The Dark, on August 27, 2021.
The album was previously out of print since 2016… so here’s your chance to own the album this August. The vinyl pressing is limited to 2,000 copies (1,500 on Unite, Multiply, & Conquer splatter vinyl, 500 on Little Ghost tri-color vinyl).
We caught the band in Oct 2019 and wrote, “They brought along bad-ass stoner rockers Death Valley Girls and that mysterious Mojave-desert-cool that follows that quartet wherever it goes busted through an initially icy reception. Bonnie Bloomgarden and company bring the heavy Black Sabbath-y riffs and chugging Cramps vibe, but also a serious dose of charm. Bloomgarden was delightful and hilarious, telling the audience that we made “the right decision” by spending our Friday night with them and then applauding our decision. I wish everyone was as supportive!”
The band recently announced three upcoming live performances:
