Valley Wolf is a Latin-psychedelic band from Modesto, CA. Their music blends psychedelic rock, soul, cumbia, and quebradita rhythms to make people connect to something primal within, creating a bouncy, pulsating sound that makes people want to dance. Be ready for “puro pinchi pari” as their music is meant to be experienced with dancing shoes - or chanclas - on any dance floor, where people can be found swaying, jumping and sometimes even laughing. The band has built a loyal following through their infectious live shows and have earned them slots alongside acclaimed acts like Enjambre, Ramona, Son Rompe Pera, and E Arenas.
