Anyone who went to The Great Escape in May and missed Lindsey Troy and Julie Edwards clearly didn’t see many shows.

Deap Vally played more venues over the weekend than some bands achieve in a national tour – and it clearly worked as their debut album Sistrionix hit the top 40 in June.

Based solely around Troy’s grungey guitar, Joan Jett-style vocals and Edwards’ John Bonham-style drumming, they are an unmissable live act.
