Valley Lodge is an unstoppable rock band from New York City. It has
been said (mostly by the Scandinavian press) that their music sounds
like Cheap Trick, T. Rex, Big Star, Michael Jackson, the Raspberries,
Slade, the Kinks, and some other stuff too. It's power pop meets pop
rock meets a splash of glam rock meets your best friend's parents going
out of town when you are sixteen and think that they won't notice if
you threw a pool party. Oh, and it's 1978 and you are hooked on glue.
Valley Lodge released their critically acclaimed self-titled
debut in 2005 and recently followed it up with another incredible album
called "Semester at Sea." In between the two albums, the band toured
the f@#k out of Japan, was the house band for Triumph the Insult Comic
Dog at Bonnaroo, and just sort of rocked like motherf@#kers in general
whenever possible. Their song "If It Takes All Night" was featured in
an obscure teen movie called "Dirty Deeds" during a scene in which
Hollywood's Milo Ventimiglia, whom you no doubt remember from the
popular television program "Heroes", has intercourse with a loaf of
bread in a bathroom stall. Hey – they needed the money.
