I’ve been a fan of rock duo Deap Vally ever since their 2012 album Sistrionix (which was my favorite album of that year). Their newest album, Femejism, was in my top 10 of 2016, and their show at the Chicago House of Blues last year was one of my top 10 live performances of last year.
So there was no doubt that I was going to see Deap Vally at the VIVA PHX festival in a smaller venue. The amount of sound these two ladies produce is stunning. They’re in the middle of a group of bands I want to see at the Valley Bar, and they will set a high bar for the bands that follow them.
Keep your mind open.
