Think of Death Valley Girls as an acid-tripping science experiment that’s
been buried alive, and resurrected as a sexually liberated dystopian
chain-gang. A cosmic scar, if you will, on the hills of Echo Park, where
the experiment began in 2013 by proto-punk Bonnie Bloomgarden and guitarist
Larry Schemel — who got lost in the desert, returned to their haunted
garage in Echo Park, and pieced together their vision with shopworn images
of sexploitation babes, a blood-soaked Iggy Pop, and Bloomgarden’s series
of phantasms, the result of spending a year in a mental institution, where
she planned her neon-glowing odyssey by listening to Black Sabbath and UFO,
reading about alien conspiracy theories, and deriving her band’s moral
compass from a line she saw in a movie:
“Everybody’s gotta be in a gang,” from campy sexploitation romp Switchblade
Sisters (1975).
