Death Valley Girls are a Los Angeles rock band formed in 2013, known for a sound they call 'California Doom Boogie' - a raw collision of garage rock, punk and psychedelic space rock fronted by Bonnie Bloomgarden. Signed to Suicide Squeeze Records, they have built a devoted cult following across the US and Europe through relentless touring and albums including Under the Spell of Joy (2020) and Islands in the Sky (2023). Iggy Pop once appeared in one of their music videos.
Death Valley Girls announced their sixth studio album Welcome to Earth, coming out on October 9, 2026 via Suicide Squeeze Records, with the lead single 'Message from the Venus Flower' - a video directed by Ian Svenonius.
Welcome to Earth came about after singer Bonnie Bloomgarden lost her home in Altadena in the 2025 Eaton Fire and shortly after also lost her dog Tommy; the album explores what remains after loss.
The band announces a full UK tour for October 2026, including a performance at The Lexington in London on October 28.
Death Valley Girls played a series of American club shows in July 2026, already including songs from the new album in the setlist.
The band performed in Arnhem as part of a European tour.
