(((folkYEAH!))) resents Death Valley Girls!Saturday, July 13thDoors: 8pm / Show: 9pm$18 in advance / $22 day of the show21+DEATH VALLEY GIRLSFor the better part of a decade, LAs scrappy rock n roll mystics Death Valley Girls have used their music as a means of tapping into a communal cosmic energy. On albums like Glow In The Dark (2016), Darkness Rains (2018), and Under the Spell of Joy (2020) the band challenged the soul-crushing banality of modern society and celebrated true magical infinite potential through a collage of scorching proto-punk riffs, earworm melodies, far-out lyrics, and lysergic auxiliary instrumentation. But on their latest album Islands in the Sky, Death Valley Girls songwriting mastermind Bonnie Bloomgarden uses the bands anthemic revelries as a guidebook to spiritual healing and a roadmap for future incarnations of the self. And while these may be the loftiest aims of Death Valley Girls to date, the resulting music is also by far their most infectious and celebratory.The seeds for Islands in the Sky were planted while Bloomgarden was bed-ridden with a mysterious illness from November 2020 to March 2021. When I was sick I had to sleep most of the day. I kept waking up every few hours with an intense message to take care of the island, feed the islandI have no idea why, but making music for the island kept coming up.
