Deap Vally
Troubadour9081 Santa Monica Boulevard, Los Angeles 90069
Deap Vally bring their 10th-anniversary celebration of FEMEJISM to the Troubadour. The Los Angeles duo of Lindsey Troy, on singing and guitar, and Julie Edwards, on drums, take the stage as the two-person unit behind the record. With no additional guests or special-format details announced, the focus is on the pair and the album’s decade mark.
Troy and Edwards are Los Angeles-based, a duo whose guitar-and-drums setup has made a forceful impression well beyond their home city. They have shared bills with Iggy Pop and Thurston Moore, and toured with Muse and Peaches. Rolling Stone praised Troy’s “arena-ready riffs” and Edwards’ “storm-the-gates drums,” calling the result “glorious noise”; the magazine also described Troy’s yelp as “one of the most startling in rock right now.” The Guardian called Deap Vally “superlative,” and noted the pair’s habit of “subverting expectations,” including Edwards’ connection to a knitting shop alongside the band’s rock work.
The Troubadour’s claim to fame is written into pop history: Elton John made his American debut here in 1970, and the musicians who became the Eagles met around the club. It remains an active West Hollywood live-music venue, with current concerts listed at its Santa Monica Boulevard address. Expect a ticketed show in a compact club room, with a bar and a small kitchen serving burgers, sandwiches, chicken tenders, and fries. Seating depends on the event; where it is limited, the venue says it is generally first come, first served, so check your show’s details before arriving. Doors typically open an hour before the performance, and most shows finish between 11 p.m. and midnight, though timing varies. The venue sits near Doheny Drive, on a stretch of West Hollywood with nearby bars and restaurants.
