Deap Vally are a Californian rock duo that blew up on the internet in the latter half of last year. But with the recent announcement that they'll be doing one of those "Australian tours" that only takes in Sydney and Melbourne it makes them topical enough for a post. Hurrah. Not that there really needs to be a reason, but MMB likes to pretend it has it's finger on the pulse. It doesn't, don't forget that.
Explanations aside, Deap Vally is Lindsey Troy and Julie Edwards, two LA natives who met at a crochet class and bonded over a love of Led Zeppelin and Joan Jett. Before long they were playing shows as Deap Vally and gaining attention for a sound that's commonly compared to the White Stripes. It is. But then it's not. There a moments where Deap Vally will grab you in a way that the White Stripes just can't, it's something to do with that voice, you can feel it.
The timing of the shows and the fact that they've been booked by Secret Sounds has sparked rumours that the duo could likely be back on our shores for Splendour in the Grass.
Their first album, Sistrionix, isn't due out til May so until then you'll have to get by on internet scraps.
