Valley opening up for COIN on their Rainbow Dreamland tour, 11.06.
Over the weekend, I saw Valley open up for COIN - and got to shoot photos of Valley's set. Valley are a band from Toronto, CA, consisting of Rob Laska, Karah James, Mickey Brandolino, and Alex DiMauro.
It was my first time shooting a show, and I had a great experience. Being in the photo pit, meeting other photographers felt amazing. It was really nice. Valley play alternative pop music that is infectious and honest. Two of the tracks they played that night are some of my favorite songs ever - "Cure," and "Like 1999." At the beginning of last month, they released an EP - Last Birthday, which included those two tracks and five others through Capitol Records.
They played phenomenally, and the energy from the crowd matched the music. They sounded even better than they do on their records. Their music is upbeat, with lyrics that are slightly sad and so real. It makes me feel happy, makes me feel good. Their music makes your loneliness go away by reassuring you that you aren't the only person who's ever been sad, heartbroken, or nostalgic for a time without social media.
