Death Valley Girls

Death Valley Girls are an indie rock band that lives on the scruffy edge of garage rock with an eye towards late '70s proto-punk. The focal point of the band is the singer and guitarist Bonnie Bloomgarden. They generally seem to be fond of heavy rock style riffs (shades of Black Sabbath). There are some vintage mid to late '70s proto-punk influences in their music, especially by artists like Patti Smith and The Stooges, and by extension, Velvet Underground. They frequently feature a lovely wailing saxophone in their songs that adds them a distinct flavor, which up until the complete line up change introduced in 2026's Welcome to Earth, was played by various guests. They are a band also known for their interest in the occult, an interest that finds its way into a lot of their songs.
