Death Valley Girls // Sister Wives at The Abbey

Sour Grapes Records presents... Death Valley Girls (USA) The road to Death Valley Girls'Welcome to Earth begins in the ashes of California's Eaton Fire.

After losing her home in Altadena and soon after her beloved dog Tommy, lead singer and songwriter Bonnie Bloomgarden confronted questions that resisted easy answers: What survives catastrophe? What remains after loss?

How do you rebuild a life when the things that once defined it are gone? The album that emerged from those questions is among the most intimate and searching works Death Valley Girls have ever made.

Throughout the band's body of work, they have treated music as both celebration and search party.

Albums like Glow in the Dark, Darkness Rains, Under the Spell of Joy, and Islands in the Skytransformed their space rock sound into a vehicle for spiritual inquiry, finding flashes of transcendence amid everyday chaos. But Welcome to Earthfeels distinct from its predecessors.

It focuses less on escaping the world and more on understanding how to remain connected after devastation.

What emerged was not a psych-punk record about loss, exactly, but about connection: the invisible threads linking people, animals, memories, landscapes, and lives across time.

The album's title functions as both a greeting and a reminder, a welcome from the natural world to a species that has largely forgotten its place within it.

Again and again, the songs return to the possibility that separation may be humanity's most persistent illusion Sister Wives Switching between the Welsh and English language, Sister Wives play a brand of psychedelic rock that's intense, hypnotic, and often unnerving.

Combining motorik rhythms, buzzsaw guitar lines and ethereal vocals they're a captivating live force. Live at The Abbey Oct 24th 2026
